The wait is over for siblings Dylan, Kate, Emily McMenamin and their treasured dog Sky who will appear on RTE2 today (Sun).
Following a national search some months ago Dylan, Kate and Emily children of Damien and Daireen, were selected to star in a new TV Series for RTE, Ace My Space.
A very rigorous audition process took place over a month including multiple auditions such as a half-hour long skype interview with the Stranorlar family who are clients of The Karen Gorman Academy of Speech and Drama & Casting Agency.
Indeed Sky the dog was also auditioned in what proved to be a most successful process.
“I knew instantly that the Mc Menamin family were the ideal candidates. They excel in every possible way and achieve incredible results always. They are the kindest, most modest children with a most admirable work ethic, what a winning combination.
“This is no surprise to anyone who knows their adoring parents and grandparents. We were informed that we had the highest number of children shortlisted from any agency nationally. I am so delighted with this,” said Karen Gorman.
This was a massive project and Dylan, Kate & Emily excelled from the outset even with 6.30am starts.
A crew of 20 professionals travelled to Donegal to film where they were spoiled with kindness and hospitality.
The very kind Katie Herron of the Donegal ladies made a surprise visit to Kate on the grounds of Mc Cumhaills, Stranorlar during filming.
