Cé a Chónaigh i mo Theachsa? / Who Lived in My House? Presented by Manchán Magan, is the series
that tells the extraordinary stories of our houses and who lived in them before
us. Who was murdered in our basement, who made love in the back bedroom and who
hid under the stairs during the Civil War? How many children were born
here and who did they become? One of the reasons people like historic
buildings isn't just because of their architecture, which can be replicated,
it's knowing that others preceded us, and that lifetimes occurred in our
homes. ‘Cé a Chónaigh i mo Theachsa?’ sets out to unlock the real stories
hidden in our walls.
Glin Castle, Shannon
This week Manchán will visit Glin Castle,
nestled at the stunning mouth of the Shannon, that has been home to the
knights of Glin, one of the oldest Anglo-Norman families in the country.
Manchán will explore the fascinating stories of the previous Knights
and will celebrate their lives with the recently deceased Knight,
Desmond Fitzgerald, his daughter Catherine and her husband the actor
Dominic West. (This episode will feature the last Interview ever filmed
with the Knight - he passed away 2 weeks after we'd filmed with him,
this programme will be dedicated to him)
