Seamus in Fair Haven

Species: Hologram
Appearance: Human Male
Holoprogram: Paris 042
Creator: Tom Paris
Spouse(s): One Wife
Played by: Richard Riehle

Seamus (pronounced 'SHAY-MUS') was a character in Tom Paris's holodeck program called Fair Haven. He was frequently having troubles with his wife and would often ask members of the USS Voyager crew for a bit of money for a drink at Michael Sullivan's pub. After seeing Tom Paris crash his automobile, he saw Paris' tire magically repair itself. He immediately headed to Sullivan's Pub, and tells its inhabitants that he believes Tom is from the spirit world. Seamus followed Tom and Harry Kim, and saw Maggie O'Halloran turned into a cow as Kim kissed her, which Paris did as a joke. Seamus cited it as further proof that the visiting Voyager crewmembers were wicked spirit folk and that they had come to destroy the village. He led a group of armed villagers who took the crew captive. Seamus attempted to banish them to the otherworld by reading incantations from an ancient book. When this did not work, he was in favor of burning them as witches. He and the town people were persuaded to let them go by Michael Sullivan. (VOY: "Fair Haven", "Spirit Folk")

Seamus was played by actor Richard Riehle.
Some sources list Seamus's last name as McGinty such as the German Trek magazine Trekworld (June 1999), others as Driscol. Neither was stated onscreen.
