Donegal’s own Fanad Lighthouse is set to feature in this Sunday’s ‘Great Lighthouses of Ireland’ television show on RTE One.
Great Lighthouses of Ireland tells the story of Ireland’s lighthouses and their continuing importance to the country’s survival.
For all their romance and mystery, lighthouses remain a vital part of Ireland’s maritime infrastructure.
This is the last programme in the series which has explained 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.
In this programme, Fanad Lighthouse and how it has been turned into luxury accommodation is featured.
The series ends by asking what the future holds for lighthouses in an age of electronic and GPS navigation: fortunately, the future is bright.
The programme will air at 6.35pm on Sunday.
