Actress Carrie Crowley is set to present a new TG4 series exploring "inspiring" Irish building restorations.
Buildings Beo begins on the Irish language channel on 19 November and sees the An Cailín Ciúin and The Walsh Sisters star travelling around Ireland to witness how communities are breathing new life into derelict properties.
There are currently over 166,000 vacant buildings in Ireland and the new six-part series will visit restoration projects ranging from historical mills to old schoolhouses.
According to TG4, "Buildings Beo is a property show with a difference: it's not only about the renovation of heritage buildings all around the country, but also about the people and the communities who bring these buildings to life".
Among the restorations featured in the series are the transformation of the historic Hope Castle Gate Lodge into a community library in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, the revival of a railway building into a digital hub and youth centre in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, and the redevelopment of a fire-ravaged cinema into a state-of-the-art local theatre in Cork's market town of Macroom.
