MONDAY 13TH APRIL
PRESENTER BLÁTHNAID NÍ CHOFAIGH
ARCHITECTURE PROGRAMME
This evening, the Nationwide team explores some very interesting Art Deco buildings in Dublin, meeting some of the property owners to uncover the history of this distinctive architectural style and its influences.
The Art Deco style gave the world a new look in the 1920s and 30s. It was premiered at an international trade fair in France just over 100 years ago during what was known as the Jazz Age. Although Ireland has less Art Deco than other countries, Dublin has some fine examples of its architecture, and reporter John Kilraine has been finding out all about it.

PROGRAMME FROM COURTMACSHERRY IN COUNTY CORK
