The fifth series of Muintir na Mara, produced by Loopline Film, is due to return to our screens on TG4 in the early New Year. The series, directed by Martina Durac, is presented by Pádraig Ó Duinnín, who continues on his voyage around the coast of Ireland over land and sea, in a currach, on a bicycle and in a van – this time embarking on a journey along the majestic coastline of Mayo and Sligo.

The soaring cliffs, beautiful beaches and wind-beaten islands provide a rich trail for Pádraig, a natural adventurer and boat-builder in his own right, as he makes his way from Silverstrand in Mayo to the island of Inishmurray off the coast of Sligo. Along the way he stops off at the harbours, quays, ports, towns and meets with the local people, Muintir na Mara.
