Her role as the murderous friend and neighbour in the Australian thriller In Her Skin in 2009 won her accolades at the Milan International Film Festival, and she received further plaudits as well as an IFTA nomination for her performance on the hugely successful RTÉ television drama Love/Hate.

Following further roles on the ITV series Primeval and the mini-series Titanic (written by Julian Fellowes and transmitted in over 86 countries), Ruth starred in the Irish comedy-horror Grabbers for which she won the IFTA Award for Best Film Actress.
