2003 plans by Neasa Ní Chianán to explore Ó Searcaigh’s “harem”

The Sunday Business Post has a report today that Neasa Ní Chianán had planned 5 years ago to do a documentary exploring the relationships of Cathal Ó Searcaigh with his “harem”.

Neasa Ní Chianáin suggested making a film which would explore ‘‘the harem of young men’’ befriended by Cathal Ó Searcaigh in a proposal made two years before filming the controversial Fairytale of Kathmandu documentary.

Documents obtained by The Sunday Business Post also show that the filmmaker said the film would focus on ‘‘Cathal Ó Searcaigh, in love’’ and would deal with how the poet tried to exert control over his relationships in Nepal.
