Wicklow Writer Wins Francis Mac Manus PrizeWednesday, April 4 2007RTÉ Radio's Francis Mac Manus Short Story competition 2006 has been won by Hester Casey from Greystones in Co Wicklow.
The writer receives €3,000 and a Waterford Crystal trophy for her story 'A Thing of Beauty'. Second prize went to Geraldine Mills from Galway, and third to Gavin Corbett from Dublin. The competition, which is in its 21st year, attracted almost 700 entries. The 20 short listed stories will be broadcast on RTÉ Radio over the summer.
