written and directed by Mary Raftery, on the history
of psychiatric hospitals in Ireland. This is a cutting-

those who have found themselves at the mercy of the
country’s psychiatric system.
FIANNA FAIL (NEW) 2 X 52’On Friday 25th February 2011 Irish voters went to
the polls and punished Fianna Fáil as they have never

holds for the party.

family mystery.

An uncompromising look at life as a private security
operator, this new prime-time series will reveal a world
never before seen on Irish television.
THE NATIONAL REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (NEW) 2 X 52’The National Rehabilitation Hospital has no surgical
teams. It doesn’t offer ‘cures’. However the NRH
does transform peoples’ lives. Patients in the hospital
have two things in common: they have all suffered a
disability as a result of a trauma and they are all in the
unit to learn how to live as full a life as possible. The
hospital is like a holistic boot camp where everyone—
from staff to patient to families—celebrates the
triumph of the human spirit.
THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE (NEW) 3 X 52’Three very different Irish millionaires turn their back
