 with viewers in Britain in new BBC series

A new TV series, Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic, fronted by singer and presenter Ronan Keating and supported by Tourism Ireland, will begin airing in Britain on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer from 6 April.

In the series, Ronan will take viewers on an epic journey along Ireland’s Atlantic coastline, visiting locations that formed part of his childhood holidays, as well as discovering new experiences and meeting some of the people who make this island so special.

Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal and Derry-Londonderry feature in the programme – which is produced by Alleycats TV – with Ronan trying his hand at everything from fishing and hurling to seaweed baths and sheep herding. Click here to view the trailer for the series.

Aidan Power, Tourism Ireland’s Director of Marketing, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to support the production of ‘Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic’ through our International Programming Ireland Fund. Our Atlantic coastline is truly spectacular, and we can’t wait for viewers in Britain to follow Ronan on his special journey.”

Ronan Keating added: “It’s felt really special making this series, rediscovering magical places that have meant so much to me and my family. I was 16 when I left Ireland, and there was so much of the west coast I hadn’t seen. Now, I’m coming home, and I can’t wait for viewers to share all the laughter and tears along the way.”
