Description   Irish actress Siobhan McKenna with her son Donnchadha O'Dea, in their Dublin home in 1966. McKenna is sitting in an armchair petting the family dog. Her son is standing behind her. A shelf of trophies, presumably belonging to her son, can be seen in the background - Donnchadha O'Dea was an all-Ireland champion swimmer in freestyle and butterfly.

A still from this shoot was used in a brief article in the RTE Guide of 11 November 1966, to publicise McKenna's presentation of the programme 'Iar-Phroinn'. This was essentially an after-dinner studio discussion in Irish, with a different host and guests each week. Donnchadha O'Dea was one of his mother's guests on the programme broadcast on 12 November 1966, which was produced by Charles Scott.
