Episode 3 (1x3)

Fecha de emisión: May 27, 2009

Programme three sees Michael in County Dublin where he finds a third of the population of the island living cheek by jowl in satellite towns around the capital city, and a new middle class accent emerging along the DART line. This is the heartland of the Celtic Tiger, which Michael may find hard to take. In any event he’ll bite his lower lip because he wants a go on the Luas, Dublin’s new light rail system. After a visit to Dublin’s financial centre and Templebar area, Michael’s off to the Wicklow Hills, Glendalough and a forced march along the Wicklow Way. Michael’s next stop is county Wexford, known by many Northerners only for the port of Rosslare.
