Sheelah's Day and the Myth of St. Patrick's Wife

We examine the curious folklore around the figure of St. Sheelah who isn't mentioned in Patrick's writings or in the works of his hagiographers. We travel to Newfoundland, Canada and Australia in search of answers. Written, presented and produced  by  Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh and Marcas Ó hUiscín.
