Shane joined Irish Equity in 2023 having completed his training at the Drama (Performance) degree programme at TU Dublin. He has always had an awareness of the importance of organised labour and this inspired him join the Union. Since joining, he has come to see membership as a basic part of any performer’s career as “The Union values of solidarity and collective action allow our voices to be heard in our industry”.
As a member of the Executive, Shane’s role is to reach out to his contemporaries and to coordinate visits to all drama and film schools by the Executive.
