Series 3 of Building Ireland is back and it takes a look at the building of Dublin airport terminal, the transatlantic telegraph cable project at Valentia, Co Kerry, copper mining on the Beara Peninsula, the hydro-station at Turlough Hill and the development at Shannon Newtown in County Clare.

Architect Orla Murphy explores Dublin Airport’s first terminal building, a gem of modernist architecture constructed in the late 1930s. This beautiful building heralded the birth of modernist Irish architecture and was the gateway to an era of international air travel for an island nation. Now 80 years old, the terminal building embodies a spirit of innovation and ambition still evident at Dublin Airport.
