CLAIRE DOHERTY HAS always wanted to be an actress, and her dream finally came true just in time for her 21st birthday.
Thanks to her brother Paul, Claire got a chance to star in her very own movie – which, as he tells DailyEdge.ie, has always been his sister’s dream.

In her pursuit of the man, Claire and friends come across a few local Donegal celebrities – including this perfect Daniel O’Donnell impersonator
It had to be done.
