Heard it mentioned this morning, looking forward to it. Hopefully a bit more substance to it compared to RTI.

Where the hell are the hard hats in that promo!

Just flicking through the channels at the moment and the Fermoy house episode is being shown on Rte 1 along with a woman providing a sign language translation.

Remember Michael, the fabulously funny little guy who was fostered by Ann and Barry, and they redesigned their house to suit his wheel chair. Sadly Michael has passed away. May he R.I.P. and sincere condolences to Ann and Barry.

The Princess Bride

How sad.
He was a smashing boy and they were a lovely couple and an example to so many.

Thanks for letting us know Lisha.

I actually smiled reading the first sentence of your post. I remember that little boy well. He had me in tears! Very sad news indeed. RIP Micheal.

I spotted the news on FB, they seemed like such a loving, fun, family unit. I remember thinking at the time that they were an example to us all.

It is a reminder that some of the architect's work is not just pandering to fads but was important in making the house habitable for Michael.

Mars Bar

His nautical room was so cool! R.I.P Michael

I cannot believe what happened to Michael. He was such a lovely little fella. R.I.P. & condolences to his family.

Call me Al

Ah he was a topper with all his enthusiasm and joie de vivre. That's so sad. May he rest in peace.

Radio5

That is so sad, RIP to Michael and condolences to his family. They must be devastated. It was easily my favourite ep of any series of Room to Improve, such love and joy and care.

I was very sad to hear this news earlier today. Must be heart breaking for his brave foster parents Ann and Barry. He was such a character.

Thats my most memorable episode. Michael was such a beacon of positivity and seemed like some craic. As for Barry and Anne, such selfless people, they have hearts of gold and you could really see their love shine through for Michael. No doubt they made his life magical.

Together the three of them were inspirational and I certainly could take lessons from each.

RIP Michael.

Very sad news, he seemed like a very happy little guy and the foster parents were lovely people as well.

I think everyone in the country remembers that episode from reading all the comments that are on FB.

Very sad about that lad.

Sympathies to his parents. They were very dedicated to him.

Radio5

Saw the the O'Donnell episode last night as part of RTE'S Summer of Repeats. Very, very entertaining.

Dermot's own Room to Improve Journey to feature in the next series during a special episode.

Will be interesting to see if he puts a glass box on his own gaff (or should that be gaffe!) - or even an alien toilet?

Samsgirl

Will it come in under budget?!

I'm actually looking forward to his episode mainly to see the wife!

His old house in Drumcondra sold there recently. Guess what? He had handles on his kitchen units! How many episode did he give out to people for this saying ruin the look etc.

Not sure the impression I got off him before was he didn't do much to the house that he recently sold.
