Celebrity Bainisteoir

Episode 1 (1x1)

Air date: Mar 23, 2008

The raw passion of the GAA grassroots collides with the glamorous world of celebrity as Celebrity Bainisteoir kicks off tonight on RTÉ One. Eight non-sporting Irish personalities are thrown in at the deep end as they manage an intermediate club football team from their home county in an official GAA tournament and we find out what happens when the true sporting passion of GAA club football meets the glitzy world of Irish celebrity. Gerald Kean, Glenda Gilson, Baz Ashmawy, Nell McCafferty, Ivan Yates, Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, Jon Kenny and Mary O'Rourke take on the challenge. The first programme in the eight-part series sees the bainisteoirí find out who they will be drawn against and there are shocks and surprises for the teams as they meet their bainisteoirí for the first time.
