An Crisis

Episode #1.2 (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Apr 14, 2010

Branded a lunatic asylum, a bunch of morons or just plain ‘bonkers’, depending on the day of the week, Irish language torch-bearer, ACT, is fighting to justify its’ continued existence in the greatest economic downturn since the foundation of this state. The Minister wants to see it gone, not least because of a healthy hatred he nurtures for acting boss of ACT, Setanta De Paor. ACT is hosting The Board of Ulster Scots in a special meeting to discuss cross-border, multilingual initiatives. What better way to prove the relevance of ACT, ‘vis-à-vis’ ‘going forward’ and ‘not playing the blame game’? That is, of course, were Ulster Scots a language not simply a dialect. With ACT’s firebrand financial controller, Ciaran, locked in a bitter row with his Northern counterparts, and with a hard-won peace agreement between the North and the South threatening to spectacularly unravel, Setanta races to resolve a potentially disastrous new conflict.
