All attending any of the casting days will be asked to fill out an application form and have their photo taken.
To apply you will need to be a full time resident in Ireland with a working visa and PPS number. Filming will mostly take place in Wicklow and Dublin, and notices can sometimes be very short so you need to be readily available.
If selected as an extra, you may receive a call anytime between now and the end of filming. If you are called, discussions will take place over the filming dates and rates of pay and you will be asked to come to the studio for fittings before your first day of filming.
