1500 years after Brigid’s death, Siobhán unravels the tangled threads of fact and folklore, to reveal the truth about this elusive Goddess, Woman and Saint, and asks why, in an increasingly secular and diverse Ireland, Brigid’s popularity appears to be on the rise. Siobhan gathers a mnásome, in a stone circle in Galway, with Herstory activist Melanie Lynch and Laura Murphy, poet and daughter of a mother and baby home survivor who candidly reveal their motivation behind the Herstory campaign and their mission to make St Brigid’s day a national holiday.
