HOLLYWOOD megastar Liam Neeson has spoken of his time spent filming in Glencolmcille in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

 


That’s in County Donegal, way up in the North-West of Ireland,” Liam explained to the audience.

He described the Gaeltacht area as being “very beautiful”.

Originally from Ballymena, the actor is best known for staring in films such as Love Actually, Schindler’s List and Taken.

Liam’s most recent film, ‘In the Land of Saints and Sinners’ is based in 1970s Ireland.

It tells the story of Finbar Murphy, played by Liam Neeson, who is eager to leave his dark past behind.

Finbar leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille.

Far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country, circumstances change when a menacing crew of IRA members arrive.

Finbar is drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse forcing him to choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends or neighbours.

Filming took place in 2022 in the villages of Glencolmcille and Kilcar, as well as the fishing port of Killybegs and surrounding areas.
