Building Ireland, the award-winning geographical, engineering and architectural series, returns to RTÉ One on 16 April 2020. Series 3 will offer locked-down Ireland a spectacular look at some of our country’s most striking and iconic locations. As ever, Building Ireland offers an accessible, visually stunning combination of entertainment and insight, with a unique team of presenters who are experts in their fields. The series opens with a look at the architectural Modernism which inspired the design of Dublin Airport in the 1930s. Future episodes take viewers on a sweeping journey through time and space, from Ireland’s remote Atlantic shores (Valentia, Allihies)to the projects that brought Ireland into the modern age, such as Turlough Hill and the Shannon Free Zone.
