In this first episode, Ardal looks at Irish stereotypes and issues around belief. From fairies and leprechauns to ghost hunting and tidy towns, not to mention the Church itself, Ardal is determined to find out if the people of Ireland are predisposed to faith. Could a matchmaker in County Clare possess a book with magical powers? What does it mean to have fiery hair? Ardal meets a woman who believes a holy relic saved her life. And at Blarney Castle, he discovers there may be a sting in the tail to the most famous Irish superstition of all. |
