The brothers spent seven years in foster homes as their mother struggled with addiction. When Barry was just 12 years old, his mum sadly passed away from a heroin overdose.
In 2013, he picked up his break-through role in the RTE drama Love/Hate where he played the "infamous cat killer" Wayne. Barry's most successful film to date has been his role as the sensitive Dominic Kearney in The Banshees of Inisherin opposite fellow Dublin stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.
