I've taken out all references to him being from Ireland.

He was born in Manchester - please see here: http://www.ffwdweekly.com/listings/film/60888/

"Previously, the Manchester-born director helmed the Emmy Award-winning British miniseries "Henry VIII," staring Ray Winston and Helena Bonham Carter; "The Jury," written by Peter Morgan; "Other Peoples Children"; and "Cold Feet."
