Sligo actor to the fore in new children's TV show about a dog exploring nature in the West of Ireland
Niamh said: 'Working on Seamus Goes Wild has been an absolute dream job. Seamus is so much fun to work with, and playing Farmer Lilly brought me so much joy. This beautiful series is perfect for children—they'll learn so much about the amazing animals, trees, and the natural world around us. It truly ignites their imagination and inspires a deeper appreciation for the magic of nature.'
Concept and scripts were developed by Sligo native, Eimear Healy who is currently Head of Development with GMarsh TV and has worked across many award-winning documentaries including the Funeral Director with Sligo Undertaker, David McGowan.
Seamus Goes Wild starts Monday 12th May at 08:25, repeating 18:40 on RTÉjr

In photos: Kerry musicians Seamus Harty and Kaylene Chute delight audiences in Listowel
The pair are both well-known and well-liked on the county's thriving and vibrant music scene, most notably Tralee native Seamus who's songs 'The Dirty Mirror', 'The Butterfly House' and 'Rome' have been streamed thousands of times on Spotify. Listowel native Kaylene Chute meanwhile is a primary school teacher and performer who has been a life-long singer and songwriter. Her latest release 'Comfort Zone' is garnering positive reviews while her other releases 'Skimming the Surface' and 'Hot Girl Winter' have also received high praise. It's a string in every musician's bow to play at the award-winning bar that is Mike the Pies. The atmosphere on the night was one full of craic with both performers only too happy to pose for photos and sign autographs for audience members both before and after the show.
