A tailor shop in West Cork that made its TV debut when Cheap Irish Homes first aired four years ago will take to the runway on the small screen again following a sleek restyle as the series returns this autumn.

The renovation section of the RTÉ One show is a highlight for presenters Maggie Molloy and Kieran McCarthy and demonstrates how the featured properties can be brought “into modern times”, says Maggie. “I try to get people to open their eyes to these buildings and still honour the age and culture of the buildings,” she says.
