Filmmakers Aileen Lambert and Michael Fortune collected stories and local folklore from students of St. Mary's National School, Bishop Street and Thomond Primary School. This video is an abridged, ten-minute version of the resulting short film.

The project follows on from the filmmakers' earlier 2004 work The Banshee Lives in the Handball Alley, featuring young people from Ballynanty and St. Mary's. The original is regarded as an exemplar across Ireland’s public art projects, and its legacy endures to this day.

Thank you to all the young people who shared their stories!

This film was made possible through the generous support of Limerick Arts Office and Limerick City and County Council.

Children of the Castle was completed in 2025 and premiered in that year’s Galway Film Fleadh. The film was shot in King John's Castle with great contributions from some of the people who grew up in Castle Barracks in the second part of the 20th century. 

Thanks to Dromglen Productions and Crude for delivering this project with The GAFF. This film marks a point in a collective journey, delving deeper into the lived experience of Limerick citizens with heretofore unheard stories about lives lived in unique circumstances in recent and not-so-recent times

We are appreciative of the time given and stories shared by individuals with first-hand memory of a childhood that differs from the norm over many decades.

Special thanks to Southill Hub, Limerick Arts Office, The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and LACE- Limerick Arts and Culture Exchange, without whom this project would not have been possible.

KNUCK & KNUCKLE, directed by Seán Horgan and Ellie Marron, is a beautiful short documentary telling the story of how boxing and sport helped Lee Reeves' through his personal grief journey, following the death of his mother, Cathy.
