RTE1: Creedon's Cities - except Waterford!

Here we go again. RTE 1 have a new series starting next Monday 9th night featuring "Ireland's cities" which is a four-parter; Cork, Limerick, Galway & Dublin, thus ommiting 1 of our 5 cities. And you know which one don't you..... Yes, we've been here before haven't we?!
Of course it's an RTE Cork production which might explain it;
This link explains it; http://www.corkfilmcentre.com/newsle...ersonal-archi/

I've sent Ray D'Arcy an email highlighting it for his Fix-It Friday programme tomorrow morning, he's usually good for stuff like this. Hopefully he'll give it a mention and might even get on to someone from RTE about it.

That is all...

Im not sure what waterford crstel is :roll eyes: but how about the Granary, Waterford Crystal Visitors Centre, the Viking Triangle, the Blue Plaque Trail, Spraoi, the Harvest Festival, Bishop's Palace, nightlife, the arts (Forum, Theatre Royal) and the many great Restaurants and Pubs we have?

Or maybe he'd like to talk to the likes of you, a proud Waterfordian and get a real insight in to the place
