Seals, Real Ireland, and Inland

Seals, Real Ireland, and Inland - on Seascapes

9th October 2009

Water users are quite happy to share their adopted element with those who were there already, and Tom MacSweeney and his team take a look at the future for the seals and their champion, the Seal Sanctuary, tonight on Seascapes (10.30pm, RTE Radio 1). But wait... there's more!

Also covered on tonight's show:

•    The ‘real Ireland’
•    Developments on the Inland Waterways.
•    The ‘Red Duster’ rises again.
•    Another new shipping service to Dublin.
•    News of the angling world.

Along with all the latest marine news and views

And check out the Seascapes book, which was published by Mercier Press to mark 1,000 editions of the programme.

Seascapes, presented by RTE's Marine Correspondent Tom MacSweeney and produced by Marcus Connaughton, is broadcast at 10.30pm each Friday night and repeated at 5.02am on Monday mornings on RTE Radio 1. The programme is also available as a podcast and is broadcast twice a week on the digital station, RTE Choice, on Wednesday mornings at 7.30am and Saturday lunchtimes at 12.30pm.
