MAIA DUNPHY’S TRUTH ABOUT BREAKING LONDON
In 2014, at the tail end of her 30’s and with the recession officially over, Maia Dunphy packed-up ‘nearly’ all of her things and ‘almost ‘ moved to London. Retaining a Dublin base and flying back ‘home’ regularly for work and play, Maia suddenly found herself slap-bang in the midst of Generation Semigration; a new wave of successful London-Irish who keep a well-shod foot in both lands. En route to figuring out how she feels about her Semigrant Status Maia talks to Fr Ted Writer Graham Linehan who finally chose England as his permanent home after a long period of rootlessness, plus a host of young Irish musicians, actors, models, designers, stylists, chefs and entrepreneurs making their mark in the UK, but still treating Dublin Airport like a bus station.
