Episode #1.4 (1x4)

Fecha de emisión: Abr 29, 2010

When Sean Nos singer Peigí Ní Mhainín opens her mouth the music just flows out. Peigi sings of starvation and emigration and the Irish peasant struggle and ACT has financed her trips abroad to music festivals and concert performances, to the tune of many thousands of euros. Tax-payers money well-spent, everyone in ACT agrees, until Peigí’s extra-curricular hobby is unearthed. The lady whose music comes from ‘The Well’, has an international property portfolio to rival any recent Irish tycoon. With an impending record launch for Peigí, in ACT’S offices, Setanta De Paor and his right-hand woman Emer try to convince Peigí of the need for some humility. Government spending is being slashed and ACT’S future is in doubt. Setanta needs Peigí to be truer to her real Irishness. But foulmouthed Peigí is nobody’s fool and when government watchdog Caoimhe attempts to unmask the truth behind all that Sean Nos, Peigí has her own ammunition that she’s ready to fire.
