John Creedon hits the road with tales from Arlene Foster, and women of Beara
John Creedon returns with a new series of Creedon’s Atlas of Ireland on RTÉ One.
John Creedon is back on the road for the third series of his popular travel show Creedon’s Atlas of Ireland. The concept for the programme, which will run for eight weeks, is simple and engaging, as he unravels the stories and hidden meanings behind Ireland’s placenames. It springs from Creedon’s infectious curiosity.
“Like a lot of products of a stern education, I assumed I was stupid most of my life,” says Creedon, “but I realise the older I get, the more curious I get about things, and the more connections I'm making in my head: ‘Ah, that's why they have bullfights in Spain. I get it now.’ ‘OK, that’s a Viking name.’ When you listen out for a Viking name it stands out like the sound of a twig snapping.
