  4. ^ "Fair City's Aisling O'Neill talks about her new healthy lifestyle". 19 July 2016. The actress is currently living in Gorey, Co. Wexford... 'It's a beautiful spot. I'm ten minutes from the beach and an hour from Dublin. I have good friends there and it's a great place to raise my child. I like spending time with friends and I like spending time in nature – I actually need to spend time in nature. I like horse-riding, walking on the beach and I swim in the sea sometimes.' However Aisling admits that she will always be a city girl at heart. 'I'm a Dublin girl, always will be'.
