DeBhairduin has spoken about the difficulties of transitioning these oral stories to the written form, and the complications which arise regarding authority.

In 2023, DeBhairduin published Twiggy Woman, a collection of ghost stories rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community and illustrated by the renowned Helena Grimes.

These chilling tales, collected by Oein from Traveller folklore are re-envisioned and retold for modern times.

DeBhairduin attended St Jarlath's College, in Tuam before entering NUI Galway to study psychology.
