Donegal’s Tory Island and Clochán Bréanainn on the Dingle peninsula are among coastal communities profiled in a new series for TG4 starting next week.
The award-winning “Bailte” presented by Síle Nic Chonaonaigh returns for its fourth season, profiling some of over 60,000 townlands in Ireland.
TG4 says this series is “a celebration of the hard-working and vibrant communities who are doing their very best to ensure their own community is more than just a mere layby and a pretty stop-off along the Wild Atlantic Way”.
“With rural Ireland as a spectacular backdrop, “Bailte” provides a distinctive and honest portrayal of life in Ireland today,” it says.
The programme visits a different townland and its respective community each week to learn what life is like there.
Among the townlands visited in this series are Leitir Ard and An Bóthar Buí in Galway, Tóraigh (Tory island) in C. Donegal, Baile na nGall in Waterford, and Clochán Bréanainn on the Dingle Peninsula.
The series begins on September 4th on TG4 at 8pm.
