Great Lighthouses of Ireland

Great Lighthouses of Ireland tells the story of Ireland’s lighthouses and their continuing importance to the country’s survival.

This brand new RTÉ One four part series explains our dependence on the sea, our battle with the elements, and the engineering, history, science and above all the people, behind these extraordinary buildings, and the pivotal role they have played in historic events.
