Limerick man to take part in new TV dating show

LIMERICK native, Seán Ó Maoilchiaráin will take part on Virgin Media Television’s brand-new Irish dating show Grá ar an Trá.

The programme starts this Monday, 25 September at 9pm on Virgin Media One.

Grá ar an Trá sees Gráinne Seoige, James Kavanagh and Síomha Ní Ruairc run the rule over 10 singletons as they head to the Gaeltacht, brushing up on their cúpla focal while also looking for love.

Their ultimate aim? To be crowned the ‘couple with the most focail’ and walk away with a grand prize to the value of €10,000.

Contestants will split their time between flirting and the foclóir, idir grá agus Gaeilge. 

Through fun tasks, cheeky challenges and romantic rendezvous, the couples will compete all while dusting up on their Irish. 

Speaking about the show, Seán said: "I'm looking for a bit of craic, to share my passion for Gaeilge and who knows, I might even find love along the way."
