Enigma de Blaghd

Only one man, from a Northern Ireland Unionist tradition, has ever served in an Irish Government in Dáil Éireann.  This man's name was Ernest Blythe, a man whose unique political insight and remarkable achievements, we have curiously failed to recognize.  A longer version of this programme, which was broadcast on TG4 in April 2015, will air later in the year on BBC NI.

 

Enigma de Blaghd is a coproduction between Scun Scan Productions and Imagine Media in and was co funded by TG4, BBC NI and Northern Ireland Screen, through the Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
