One for the diary. There's a new 6 part series starting on TG4 which sounds like it might be worth a look.
It is presented by Eimear Nic an Bhaird, a fluent irish speaker who bought a dilapidated 1930s town-home in Kilmainham, Dublin. Eimear was on a budget and prepared to make-do with the house until she would afford to renovate. However just 3 months after moving in, she was made redundant and had to re-think her position. The series follows her carrying out home improvements on a show-string and turning her hand to such skills as sewing, wood-turning, candle-making, pottery and mosaics.
Maybe Ireland's answer to Kirsty's Home Made Home ?
Do Thintean Fein (which loosely translates to Your Own Home) starts on TG4 on 30 Sept at 8pm.
Sounds very interesting, will have to get son#1 to translate (gaelscoil), I guess it'll have subtitles, my Irish isn't that great!
