The good and the bad of growing up on O’Connell Street

Distant cousins of Danny DeVito grew up in the heart of Dublin City on O’Connell Street, and while the actor missed out on the hustle and bustle of Dublin’s fair city, some of his family remain there to this day. On the second level of a five storey building on Lower O’Connell Street, artist Leo Divito grew up surrounded by family business, 8 kids and an “always busy house”. Leo joins Seán to talk about the good and the bad of growing up on O’Connell Street.
