Bog Amach returns for series two on RTÉ One
Date Posted: September 4, 2023
Bog Amach returns for a second series on RTÉ One on Monday 4th September at 8pm. Produced by Strident Media, this aspirational Irish Language Broadcast Fund series features people who want to create a better life by moving home.
Presenter Emer Mhic an Fhailí has a passion for property and interior design. In Bog Amach she takes six couples and families to spectacular locations across the country as they search for the perfect place to settle.
Featuring first-time buyers, a family planning for island life, a young couple relocating from New Zealand, an older couple and their Scottish wolf-hounds returning home from Canada and a retiree moving from rural Ireland to city centre living– they all have their own specific ‘dream home wish list’.
Combining spectacular scenery, interesting houses and useful information, each episode features property experts to advise on everything they need to know when making the big move, no matter what stage of the property ladder they may be on.
After living abroad, young couple Críostóir and Úna are ready for new adventures back in Ireland. They search for their dream home in Donegal.
First time buyer Emma Devlin is ready to take the big leap. She enlists the help of her mum, Cora, in the search of her perfect home in Belfast.
60-year-old Tiarnán and his wife have been living in Canada for 33 years. Along with their two Scottish wolf-hounds, they are looking to up sticks and move to Wexford to be near family.
Young couple Páidí and Naomi are tired of renting and are ready to buy their own home in Belfast.
Retired teacher Eileen wants to swap her rural life in county Clare and move to the vibrant city of Derry. Will the show be able to help Eileen find the perfect place?
Each week we show our house-hunters three potential properties in their chosen area. As they view houses, some ready to move into, others in need of a little more work, they get a sense of just how far their money can go. The search will throw up some unexpected challenges and some pleasant surprises.
At the core of this series is something that we all aspire to – the hope of building a dream life in a dream home. Whether seeking solitude by the sea or craving the hustle and bustle of city life, everyone has different aspirations, wants, and needs.
Bog Amach is produced by Strident for RTÉ and BBC Northern Ireland with support from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF).
Tá Bog Amach ar ais ar RTÉ One
Tosaíonn an dara sraith de Bog Amach Dé Luain 4ú Meán Fómhair ag 8 i.n ar RTÉ One. Léirithe ag Strident Media le tacaíocht ón Chiste Craoltóireachta Ghaeilge, bíonn an tsraith seo ag bualadh le daoine atá ag iarraidh saol níos fearr agus teach níos fearr dóibh féin.
Tá láithreoir Emer Mhic an Fhailí iontach paiseanta faoi chúrsaí réadmhaoin agus dearadh intí. Tabharfaidh sí seisear clann chuig áiteanna éagsúla tarraingteacha thíos faoin tír ag dul sa tóir ar an áit is fearr le bogadh ann.
Tá liosta mianta difriúil ag gach rannpháirtí –ceannaitheoir céaduaire; pleanáil teaghlaigh do shaol an oileáin; lánúin óg ag athlonnú ón Nua-Shéalainn; lánúin ag filleadh ó Cheanada tar éis 33 bliana lena chúnna mac tíre Albanacha; ceannaitheoir ag bogadh ó áit an-iargúlta go cónaí i lár na cathrach agus lánúin óg ag iarraidh an chéad aistriú eile.
Feicfidh siad trí theach sna ceantair áirithe atá roghnaithe acu. Beimid ag taisteal ó thuaisceart Dhún na nGall go Loch Garman, ó iarthar Chonamara go cathair Dhoire, agus muid ag léiriú na srianta agus na féidearthachtaí atá amuigh ansin.
I ndiaidh a bheith ina gcónaí thar lear, tá lánúin óg Críostóir agus Úna ar ais in Éirinn agus iad ag iarraidh socrú síos i nDún na nGall?
Tá Emma Devlin sa tóir ar a chéad teach. An féidir leis an seó cuidiú le hEmma dul ar an dréimire réadmhaoine i mBéal Feirste?
Tá Tiarnán agus a bhean chéile ina chónaí i gCeanada le 33 bliain ach tá siad ag smaoineamh ar aistriú mór ar ais go hÉirinn. Ba mhaith leo a bheith níos cóngaraí den chlann agus teach a fháil i Loch Garman.
Tá an lánúin óg Páidí agus Naomi braon de a bheith ag íoc cíosa, agus tá siad réidh lena dteach féin a cheannach i mBéal Feirste.
Ba mhaith le hEileen a saol tuaithe i gContae an Chláir a mhalartú agus bogadh go cathair bhríomhar Dhoire. An mbeidh muid ábalta cuidiú le léi?
Gach seachtain cuidíonn Emer le clann nó lánúin dhifriúil. An mbeidh siad in ann a n-aisling a aimsiú? Sraith spreagúil, taitneamhach é seo a bhaineann leas as áilleacht na gceantar ar fad. Beidh trí theach le taispeáint gach seachtain – ón ‘do-er upper’ go dtí an teach gleoite críochnaithe agus beidh an praghas dá réir. Beidh idir dhúshláin agus phléisiúr i ngach cuairt.
Tá méadú mór ar an líon daoine atá ag malartú saol na cathrach, le tranglaim tráchta agus brú spáis, le saol nua, ciúin i gceantair thuaithe nó a mhalairt – ag fágáil na tuaithe le saol níos fusa a bheith acu le córas iompar níos fearr agus deiseanna fostaíochta sa chathair.
Tá an tsraith ‘Bog Amach’ léirithe ag Strident Media do RTÉ agus BBC Gaeilge le tacaíocht ón Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge (ILBF).
