Older dancers go looking for love at ballroom dancing sessions in the Green Isle Hotel.
Marie-Louise O'Donnell meets some older women whose search for love led them to ballroom dancing sessions at the Green Isle Hotel in Dublin. Liz Hollingsworth says age doesn't come into it at all, you can love at 9 or 90. Her ideal man has to be tall and nicely dressed, with plenty of go in him. Betty Moore went straight for the dancing after her husband died and met new love Tommy Masterson. They've been together ever since.
