Former President Mary McAleese returns with a second series of All Walks of Life, in which she treks some of Ireland’s most sacred and spectacular pilgrim routes with a fascinatingly diverse selection of walking companions, including Patrick Kielty, Roz Purcell, Leo Varadkar, and record-breaking Olympic athlete, Ciara Mageean. Along the way, each guest discusses how their life has shaped or been shaped by, their values and beliefs (or lack of them). 

David Cosby knows he is lucky to be alive, although luck is not the first thing that comes to mind, as he relates how he lost three siblings to a progressive lung condition, before requiring a life-saving double lung transplant, himself. Now, he’s an unstoppable marathon runner, never more at home than in the hills of his native Cavan stomping ground, near the neolithic barrow turned ancient Christian burial ground at Drumgoon Hill.
