CRÁ (Fibin Media & Zoogon Ltd)

A murder investigation begins when Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin’s missing mother is discovered buried on a bog. Conall is forbidden from working the case but that’s not going to stop him. Meanwhile, a young journalist, Ciara-Kate, decides to produce a podcast about the case. Conall soon realises that Ciara-Kate can get access to people who refuse to speak to the official investigation. If Conall wants justice for his mother, he has no choice but to join forces with this journalist. Their investigation leads them on a dark path and begs the question: can justice really be blind?

Naíonra (Tyrone Productions)

For the first time in Ireland, we get an insight into a small world where big things happen – the wonderful world of the Naíonra. Over the course of a year, cameras will follow all the action in two Naíonras, one in Tallaght, Dublin, and one in Mallow, County Cork. Most of these children start here with no Irish but in the Naíonra we will see their first steps in becoming fluent in a second language. Join us on this journey in one of the most important years in life, where so many of the skills we use throughout our lives are first learned – understanding, communication and friendship.
