Room To Improve
9.30pm RTÉ One
Couple Mark and Sabina hope that, despite its rotting floorboards and ‘unorthodox’ foundations, Dermot can transform their home in north Dublin into a new family home. Since they married two years ago, Paul and Sabina Horgan have become the proud parents of baby Mia and the owners of a property on the North Dublin coast: Lismara – a dilapidated 1940s cottage in Portmarnock in an extremely poor condition. The couple are hoping that this inauspicious creation will be their new family home.
At Your Service
8.30pm RTÉ One
This week Francis and John Brennan come to the help of a national institution. An Grianán is comprised of a 17th century house and grounds with 53 bedrooms, a 120 seat dining room, function room, bar, 6 self catering cottages and a small shop. To keep An Grianán alive they need to attract new members, update their facilities and attract people to their courses to support their ambitions. It’s a huge place and a huge task – can the Brennans make a difference?
