Over one year ago three successful business men, John Concannon, John Fitzpatrick and Nadim Sadek left their regular lives behind to go undercover in some of the most disadvantages areas of Ireland. They were on a secret search in Dublin, Dundalk and Cork for people and charities that they might be able to help. What they found moved them to part with tens of thousands of euro of their own money. Now, they are back to see how the charities they helped, and continue to help, are getting on. They have more surprises in store and are returning to renew friendships with the people who continue to work selflessly for others.
John Concannon
John Concannon’s Secret Millionaire journey had a significant impact on him personally. It compelled him to make a promise to help people contemplating suicide in the west of Ireland. True to his word John has embarked on a massive fundraising effort to raise the €250,000 required to set up Pieta House West. It has dominated his time since then and his efforts have become an inspiration to others in the region. Taxi driver John Quinn and he have remained fast friends and they visit as part of the show what will be the future Pieta House West.
John Fitzpatrick
New York is the home of hotelier John Fitzpatrick. He travelled back to Ireland and spent his week undercover in Dundalk. Since the filming of the programme John has become ever more embedded in the life of Dundalk. Amongst other changes he returns to help O’Hanlon’s boxing club build a new club of their own having raised $75,000 for their cause, he has with the help of local authorities found Tim & Dianne, the disabled couple long living in awful conditions, a new home and he renews his commitment to all the charities he met through the Secret Millionaire.
Nadim Sadek
Over a year ago brand marketing consultant Nadim Sadek, lived undercover in Cork. Music is a passion of his and he particularly wanted to find a charity that used music as a way to improve people’s lives. Along with a visit to the other charities Nadim is back again to visit Bob Seaward who has invited him to be a guest speaker at the official opening of the new home for the ever-expanding Cork Academy of Music.
