Cois Móire review: Episode two of Diarmuid Ó Drisceoil's Blackwater travels 

Diarmuid Ó Drisceoil on the Blackwater for Cois Móire on TG4. 

More than 60 years ago, Annraoi Ó Liatháin, civil servant, fisherman, Irish speaker and writer, walked the entire course of the 169km Blackwater River from its source in the mountains of northeast Kerry to where it enters the sea at Youghal.

TG4’s documentary, Cois Móire, sees presenter Diarmuid Ó Drisceoil follow the same route, primarily by canoe, though for a brief interlude in episode two by train.
