Chocolates.ie
Even from the age of nine, my vision was always to run my own business. I studied bakery
production and management in college and after graduation, I worked for two highly respected
chocolate companies – Butler‘s and then Lily O'Brien‘s. I started Aine Hand Made Chocolate in
1999. We employ ten people today in our chocolate factory, exporting to five countries outside
of Ireland.
Creating my brand from scratch and working on new products and packaging were among the
high points. Winning all those 'Great Taste Awards' in the UK year‐after‐year, was also a great
source of pride.
On the other hand, finding a bank that would back me in the early days was a big struggle. That
sometimes meant not having enough cash to pay the rent because of low sale volumes or being
unable to invest in new equipment. In those early days, getting my products listed with
supermarkets or even getting meetings with buyers was also tough.
The biggest break‐through moment for me was when we received our first high volume order
from the John Lewis chain in the UK. That opened so many doors for us and was the start of our
export journey.
The recession hit the business hard. Our corporate client base virtually disappeared overnight.
So we went back to the drawing board and re‐looked at all our products. We redesigned our
packaging, deliberately choosing more vibrant colours that would stand out on shelves more and
would catch a shopper's eye. We did a lot more farmers' markets and food shows around the
country to help us research consumer tastes, trial new product ideas and generate cash flow.
The economy is improving, so I am optimistic about the future. The best piece of advice I got
about running a business is that you learn something new every day and as business owners, we
are allowed to make mistakes.

Barry Keoghan has come a long way. It's four years since Keoghan's character shot that poor cat
in Love / Hate. Since then, he's had decent roles in Rebecca Daly's Mammal, Christopher
Nolan's Dunkirk and a standout performance in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
The air around him is alive with expectation as he has been named on US Magazine Variety's 10
Actors To Watch.
He remains fiercely proud of where he came from and knows he had fewer advantages than
most other actors in the business. Born and raised in Dublin's inner city, Barry spent a period of
time in a number of different foster‐care homes, before being taken in and raised by his
grandmother. "My granny's great. She raised me well. She's very proud."
As a child, Keoghan loved movies, drawing and people‐watching. "I'd see people on the street
and they'd interest me, and I'd go home and try to draw that character, and figure out what
their story was. Creating characters was a big thing for me."
One tip Barry Keoghan has for film auditions is to be yourself when you're meeting all the
casting people and directors. It makes you more unique and stands you apart from all the
others walking through the room.
According to Barry a good tip for acting is to tease the audience. Let them chase what is going
on. Don't give it away. The best thing about being an actor for Barry is forgetting your own
problems and getting in someone else's shoes ‐ letting someone else who's coming to see you in
a film forget their problems and enter another world, and letting them enjoy that for the ninety
minutes or whatever.
(a) (i) Why do you think Barry Keoghan‘s grandmother is important to him? (3 marks)
(b) Based on your reading of the passage above what do you think Barry Keoghan enjoys most
about acting? (4 marks)

2. Khalil cusses under his breath, turns Tupac down, and manoeuvres the car to the side of the
street. Nobody around but us and the cop. I remember something else Daddy said in his talk.
"If you're with somebody, you better hope they don't have nothing on them, or both of y'all
going down." I hope someone had the same talk with Khalil...
The officer approaches the driver's door and taps on the window.
Cop ‐ "Licence, registration, and proof of insurance." Khalil breaks a rule – he doesn't do what
the cop wants.
Khalil ‐ "What you pull us over for?"
Cop ‐ "Licence, registration, and proof of insurance."
Khalil ‐ "I said what you pull us over for?"
Starr ‐ "Khalil, do what he said." I plead.
Khalil hands the officer his papers and licence.
Cop ‐ "Your tail‐light's broken."
Khalil ‐ "So are you gonna give me a ticket or what?"
Cop ‐ "You know what? Get out of the car, smart guy. Hands up, where I can see them... and
you..." He looks in the window at me. "Don't move."
My parents haven't raised me to fear the police, just to be smart around them. They told me it's
not smart to move while a cop has his back to you. Khalil does and moves to the driver‘s door.
Pow! A shot is fired. Khalil looks at me stunned. He falls to the ground. Khalil doesn't move.
His body stiffens and he's gone.
