PROGRAMME ONE

HOLIDAYS IN IRELAND: BALLYBUNION

Filmed by the Radharc team during an August weekend in Ballybunion, Co Kerry, this film wryly explores Irish holiday-makers’ experience and asks, “Do they perhaps forget to bring their code of morality with them when they pack their bags?”.

PROGRAMME TWO

NORTHERN IRELAND COAST

In this nostalgic travelogue, the hustle and bustle of Belfast, Bangor and Derry is contrasted with the tranquillity of the seaside along the Northern Ireland Coast where “tumbling green waves are fresh in from the cold Atlantic”.
