Two years ago I cycled the Wild Atlantic Way for Morning Ireland. This time I’ll be cycling parts of Ireland’s Ancient East and hopefully getting to places I sometimes don’t get a chance to stop when I’m on the road for Morning Ireland,” said Cian.

I’m hoping to hear stories from people as I travel. I want to take the temperature of the nation post – government formation. I’m also interest to see how people, families and communities are are facing the summer, ” said Cian.

I’m hoping to meet people and communities that they tell their stories too – maybe they are running an interesting local festival or have something positive to tell us. But also, I’m interested in seeing how areas have recovered after the heavy winter storms that hammered the country during the winter,” Cian added.

The best way to contact me before I start cycling is on the special email for the series: irelandbybike@rte.ie,” said Cian.
