Donegal features in new More4 TV series

Images of Donegal were beamed into homes across Britain this week when a new series – called Ireland: Coast & Country – began on More4 yesterday.

The three-part series will follow various personalities from across the island of Ireland – offering viewers the chance to learn about their daily activities and lifestyles and to see our spectacular landscape.

Episode one features Killian McLaughlin, founder of Wild Ireland sanctuary in Burnfoot.

The series was produced by Afro-Mic Productions, a Belfast-based production company, and is supported by Tourism Ireland.

Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to support the production of this new three-part TV series, ‘Ireland: Coast & Country’. With a large audience right across Britain set to watch the series on More4, it’s a great way to shine a spotlight on Donegal, the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland – highlighting our spectacular coastline and countryside, our wonderful people and some of the fantastic experiences on offer here. It will remind British viewers why Ireland is a great choice for a holiday.

“Publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of Tourism Ireland’s programme of activity, to encourage travellers in Britain to put Co Wicklow, Ireland’s Ancient East and Ireland on their holiday wish-list.”
