Filmed from the clock tower of Christ Church Cathedral, Féach captures the bulldozing of the Wood Quay site.
'Féach' visits the Viking site at Wood Quay in Dublin to see the bulldozing in progress.
Proinsias Mac Aonghusa provides an alternative view of the Wood Quay Viking site rarely seen by passers-by. Despite thousands taking to the streets of Dublin in protest at the building of civic offices on this Viking site, construction work is going ahead.
Proinsias Mac Aonghusa asks if this is the beginning of a new era of protest?

This episode of 'Féach' presented by Proinsias Mac Aonghusa was broadcast on 13 March, 1979. The bilingual current affairs series 'Féach' reported on national and international events and was broadcast from 1967 to 1984. Féach was aired every Sunday evening and featured reports in both Irish and English. The Irish word "Féach" meaning "Look" gives an indication of what the programme was about as editor John Ross stated "It will try to show, from a fresh viewpoint, what is happening at home and abroad each week". (RTÉ Guide, 14 July 1967, p.17) The show was originally anchored by Andy O'Mahony with reporting assistance from Sean Duignan and Micheal O'Briain. |
