'Tithe Cois Uisce' is an 8-part series that follows on from the popular "Tithe Cois Farraige' series. As an island nation, we have been building houses by the water for thousands of years, between dramatic cliffs off our coasts, to tranquil lakes in the middle of the country and to the banks of the rivers all around us. Each week Síle Nic Chonaonaigh will visit a different location to meet those who have built houses by the water.
