Those wishing to gain interpretation of Modern Ireland ...should find the O'Gorman TV series somewhat insightful.
Most interesting factual Irish TV ....in that it reveals insights of life in Ireland .....from no set agenda. Paddy O'Gorman a peculiar presenter ...with a very peculiar style of interview.

O'Gorman
This season, Paddy O'Gorman takes a journey through Ireland's towns to see how people are getting on. From Ballyjamesduff to Dungloe, Ballyhaunis to Ennistymon, Gort to Clones, this year's series of 6 programmes are a microcosm of Ireland in these challenging times.
With a wonderful collection of stories that'll make you laugh and cry, Paddy gets people talking as only he can.
Episodes
Ballyjamesduff
This week Paddy travels to Ballyjamesduff in the heart of Cavan. From the Chinese couple who've opened a bakery in the town, to the shopkeeper with a jail in his back yard, people, as usual, have some wonderful stories to tell.
Ballyhaunis
This week Paddy travels to County Mayo and the town of Ballyhaunis. While one local shopkeeper feels that with local businesses closing down daily Ballyhaunis will eventually become derelict, Mohammad and Ali's halal meat shop is fighting the trend in the town they call Ballyhappiness!
Other O'gorman episodes
O'Gorman
In this new six part series, Paddy O'Gorman returns to the streets to hear the stories of ordinary people's lives.
Programme 1
Paddy pays a visit to the social welfare office at Clarkesbridge in Cork where he is surprised at the wide cross section of people in the ever-growing dole queue.
Programme 2
Paddy pays a visit to Bettystown in Co. Meath where he talks to families holidaying in Ireland to beat the credit crunch.
Despite the weather this seaside town is full of laughs and memories and of course slot machines!
Programme 3
Paddy meets people who are frequenting cash converter shops - the new sub-prime pawn shops which are popping up in all our major towns.
These shops charge much higher rates and have a much lower threshold for securing a loan than the olden day pawn shop. Tellies, computer games, mobile phones, musical instruments all go in and out of cash converters. Paddy visits some of these shops and gets the stories of those who frequent them.
