The isle of poets and scholars has known almost constant warfare for centuries.

In 1920, it was divided into North and South; yet this purely political solution left a religious and cultural schism intact.

This presentation follows Irelands tragic course from St. Patrick to Britain's imposition of direct rule in 1974.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
