“Good writing knows no ethnicity. Good writing knows no nationality. Good writing is good writing – not alone is this good writing - It’s excellent writing. Very personal writing. Very humorous writing. They say if Dublin was burnt down it could be rebuilt again by reading the work of James Joyce – well the very same could be said about Creedon’s work – Cork city could be built from his words.”

Malachy McCourt – WBAI RADIO New York 

“Hidden History: The Burning of Cork (RTÉ 1, Tuesday, 10.15pm). There was a sense that its superb director, Cónal Creedon could fruitfully be let loose on the story with a twenty-million-dollar budget. Creedon’s documentary told far more than just the story of the night of December 11, 1920.”

Dermot Bolger – Village Magazine Dublin

“For distinctive flavour, free rein to the imagination and even the odd passionate belief, there may never be a match for Under the Goldie Fish...Cónal Creedon’s mad, bad, wonderful-to-know daily sitcom-soap... If you like your metafictions, intertextuality and just plain messin’ in daily doses – Creedon’s yer only man!”

Harry Browne – The Irish Times

“They were discussing what should go into the Irish Millennium Time-Capsule. If they are looking for something to represent Ireland, how about Cónal Creedon’s Under the Goldie Fish? It’s so off the wall, that it shouldn’t ring true, but the most frightening fact is that it does…”

Eilís O’Hanlon – The Sunday Independent

“Creedon’s great gift seems to be observation, 45 tense, funny and pointed minutes, convincing and memorably skilful. When I Was God, is both a treat and a treasure.”

Mary Leland – The Irish Times

“Creedon’s main device in these pieces is repetition. I found myself laughing uproariously as the words stayed the same, but the meaning was in constant shift, each repetition raising the stakes to a beautifully bittersweet conclusion – driving the action and the comedy.”
