    I only got to see the last half hour but it seemed interesting enough. TG4 usually do good documenataries like this, the one of coláiste na Reabhlóid last week was excellent.

    Will there be subtitles? I like TG4 documentaries, but I prefer when they're in English... certainly a great idea for a documentary series though.

    I saw it. It was a great programme. I noticed that he planted a tree when he started his presidency, it got a tree disease later. A cutting was cut from it and that cutting was used to plant the tree that President McAleese planted to mark his presidency.
