Tipperary's thriving culture and identity will be explored on RTÉ Radio 1's The County Measure this August, as writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods uncovers the county's vibrant arts, sports, history, heritage and celebrates its diverse communities.
From handcrafting a hurley in Townagha, Birdhill bursting with art, to the end of an era in Thurles, Vincent takes a measure of all that "Tipp" has to offer.
As the generator of generations of Gardaí and the homeplace of hurling, Tipperary truly is the "Premier County."
A new and exclusive work from author Siobhan MacGowan (The Graces and The Trial of Lotta Rae) will feature in the programme.
The County Measure is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
The County Measure: Tipperary will be broadcast on Sunday August 20th at 10 am on RTÉ Radio 1.The series previously visited several counties including Clare, Offaly, Roscommon and Tyrone. You can listen back to the series here.
