The Film ‘Small things like these’

In 1985 devoted father Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent and uncovers shocking truths of his own.

The Locations Manager Mairead Sandford – Cillian Murphy’s – ‘Small things like these’.

The upcoming movie was predominantly filmed in New Ross last year, and is scheduled to be released in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 1 November 2024. The cast and crew deeply endeared themselves to the local New Ross community during their stay and we’d like to think none more so than locations manager Mairead Sandford.

The Excitment Across New Ross During Filming

New Ross was buzzing with excitement as filming begins in the town for Small Things Like These!

The rumour mill was in overdrive – One female onlooker was interested in whether Cillian Murphy would be seen in New Ross  or “be hidden somewhere”. Another lady said that she had got her little pull-out chairs ready to go so she could sit looking at Quay Street with a flask and just see if he is going to show up,” she said.

The only thing we can confirm is that the New Ross community extended it’s warmest welcome to the crew as they embark on the filming in our beloved town. We are excited to have had the production here and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our local economy in the future.

The local business community understands the importance of attracting and supporting projects of this scale and believe that the presence of this movie in our town will not only create jobs and boost our local businesses, but also provide an opportunity for our residents to witness the magic of filmmaking up close.
