A new four-part TG4 documentary series examines the River Suir in depth will premiere Wednesday, April 1st, 2026, at 9:30 pm. The Irish-language production, created by HG Productions, explores the history, communities, and landscape of Ireland’s third-longest river.
The series is presented by Dr Colm Mac Gearailt, a West Kerry historian and arts practitioner. Mac Gearailt retraces the river’s 183km journey from its source to the sea using a canoe.
The journey is guided by the reflections found in Annraoi Ó Liatháin’s book, Cois Siúire and features stories from various Tipperary communities and explores the “triumph and tragedy” of the river’s past.
The 50-minute Irish-language programme tells the story of one of Ireland’s greatest waterways and the communities along its course.
It places the river at the centre of heritage and cultural narratives offering viewers an unprecedented look at its historical and environmental importance.
