He won the Hennessy Award in 1985. Connaughton is the author of the books A Border Station (1989), The Run of the Country (1991), and Big Parts (2009).[3][4] He adapted The Run of the Country for the screen in 1995 and published a book about its filming, A Border Diary, the same year.[5] A Border Station, a short story collection, was a bestseller in Ireland and was shortlisted for the Guinness Peat Award.[6] His first two books are both set in the County Cavan village of Redhills, where he grew up, and The Playboys and The Run of the Country were filmed there.[2] Connaughton attended Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and has worked as a theatre and film actor,[2] appearing in Coronation Street, Mike Leigh's Four Days in July, Neil Jordan's The Miracle, and The Playboys, among other roles. Connaughton is married and has two children.
