Dublin- Irish Poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh has compared himself to Oscar Wilde in an interview on the making of the documenatary 'Fairytale of Kathmandu'. The documentary was made by Neasa Ní Chianáin who said she had become concerned about his relationship with young men while filming him in Nepal.
Mr Ó Searcaigh said in an interview with Raidio na Gaeltachta today that he felt we was in an abyss and that his reputation had been tarnished. Comparing himself to Oscar Wilde, he said that although he was down he was still looking up at the stars.
He also said that nobody had refused him work so far in light of the controversy.
Mr Ó Searcaigh criticised the programme-makers for giving the impression that he was a sex-tourist and ignoring the long-term relationship he had with the people of Nepal.
He also claimed that he gave three-quarters of what he earned to people in that country.
In the film, Mr Ó Searcaigh confirmed he had sex with boys that came to his room but the film-maker stressed that none was under 16, the age of consent in Nepal.
