TG4 saddles up for new season with top teilifís

Riders, rebels, ramblers and rugby players are all in TG4’s autumn schedule unveiled in Dublin yesterday.

Programme attractions on the Irish language station include the search for Ireland’s brightest prospect in the saddle and a documentary on dark deeds and summary executions in Civil War Ireland.

Jockey Eile will see Seán Bán Breathnach, helped by racing enthusiast and GAA legend, Joe Connolly, give 20 men and women a chance to follow their dream of becoming a jockey.
