The next twelve years brought Kavanagh no new films, though he continued to act on stage.

1984

The film was about a young member of the IRA (Lynch) who is seeking to get out of the organisation.

He meets the widow of one of the IRA's victims (Mirren) and they begin a love affair.

Moving on from this film, Kavanagh acted in a number of films and television series.
