Ráth Chairn couple feature in new TG4 dating series

A Ráth Chairn couple are to feature in a brand-new dating format for couples who are already together!

Shot during the Covid 19 lockdown Grá Faoi Ghlas is a brand-new entertainment format devised and produced for couples going through the highs and lows of Lockdown during this Covid 19 crisis.

Taking part in the second episode on 25th November are Diane and Ódhrán Ó Casaidigh.

Diane was born in Delaware, in the USA and is a fluent Gaeilgeoir. She and Odhrán are married 25 years – they have 4 children. All are home for the lockdown, some home from college.

The family are spending their lockdown time together, playing board games and going out cycling together. They are a very musical family, as the Ó Casaidigh brothers, including Odhrán and his brothers toured internationally, playing Irish traditional music to much acclaim.

Odhrán is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, including orchestral music, and is the Head of Irish Music / Lecturer in Violin at D.I.T. Conservatory of Music and Drama. Diane usually runs a full house during the summer, as a Bean an Tí, with Choláiste na bhFiann, but it was a different story this summer with Covid putting an end to the summer colleges.

Narrated by 2FM’s Eoghan McDermott, who gives the low-down to the audience on the reality of lockdown for couples. Each week we feature 2 couples from Dingle to Donore and Letterkenny to Lixnaw, stopping off in Connemara, Dublin, Waterford and Cork along the way.

Couples suffering / enduring / loving lockdown together must answer a series of progressively awkward questions that they’d rather not deal with in normal circumstances. As we ramp up the pressure with more and more revealing questions, can they continue to stay calm and answer the questions HONESTLY, or as honestly as they dare.

What will your partner say when asked the most intimate questions about your relationship? Worse still, what will your in-laws or best friends say about you two! For some it probably doesn’t bear thinking about.
