Inniu, cloisfimid an chéad chlár i sraith nua faoi leithinis an Mhuirthead in iar thuaisceart Mhaigh Eo.  Is é an staraí Pádraig S. Ó Murchú a bheidh mar threoraí againn, agus déanfaidh seisean cur síos leathan do Sheán Ó hÉalaí ar thíreolaíocht, ar stair agus ar sheanchas an cheantair.  Inniu, cur síos ar thíreolaíocht na leithinse ó bhaile Bhéal an Mhuirthead go dtí An Fód Dubh a bheidh le cloisteáil againn, agus mar a tógadh bóithre tríd an leithinis.  Tá an tsraith seo léirithe ag Tomás Mac Con Iomaire.  Seo léiriú de chuid Katcom le tacaíocht ón scéim Fuaim agus Fís, Údarás Craolacháin na hÉireann.

Today we hear the first programme in a new series about the Mullet Peninsula in northwest Mayo.  Pádraig S. Ó Murchú will be our guide, and will describe for presenter Seán Ó hÉalaí the geography, history and folklore of the area.  Today, we start with a geographical description of the area from Belmullet to Black Sod, and how roads were constructed through the peninsula.  Tomás Mac Con Iomaire is series presenter.  The series has been produced by Katcom, with funding from the BAI’s Sound and Vision scheme.
