A multi award winning doc. And still one of our most popular ever docs! It's 1985, and two Dublin children, with a knack for bunking off school and fare dodging, embark on an unbelievable adventure. On a warm summer's day in 1985, they hop on a Dart and skip out to Dun Laoghaire, nothing much to be doing there, so they sneak on the ferry for Holyhead and make it all the way to London Heathrow where they board a plane to NYC. (First broadcast 2011)

April 2nd 2023 marks the 45th anniversary of the death of Con Carey, the only man in Kerry to be buried twice. The story itself goes back to April 1978, when Con Carey, a bachelor labourer, was found dead on the outskirts of Brosna village in Co. Kerry. With no family around, Con’s burial was rushed and unusually quick. Having died in the early hours of Sunday morning, April 2nd, he was buried the following day, Monday April 3rd, 1978. The talk was that Con had not even been properly prepared, washed or dressed for burial. 12 of his friends and neighbours were disgusted that Con could be treated in this way - so they set out to right that wrong - and they'd become known as the 12 Apostles in a story that has become a parable for how to treat our dead (First broadcast 2013).

Paul – not his real name – is in his thirties, and he has never had a sexual or romantic relationship. He goes to work and gets on with his colleagues but nobody knows the life of quiet despair that he lives. Nobody knows that he is an ‘incel’. Incels – or involuntary celibates - are men who define themselves as people who cannot find anybody to have a romantic or sexual relationship with, despite wanting one. Incels hang out on the darker fringes of the Internet, commiserating with each other and venting about women and society. It is a deeply misogynistic space, filled with hate speech. It is also filled with loneliness and sadness. Incels, especially in Ireland, rarely speak to the media but we delve into the world of inceldom and discover what the world looks like through their eyes.
Warning: This documentary contains adult themes, discusses offensive themes, violence and suicide that could be upsetting or triggering for some people, so please take care.

On the evening of November 20th 2014 a young Irish-American student named Devin Reardon was at his University campus in Florida. Alarms started to go off, at first one and then every siren on the college grounds. Students were warned to get back to their dormitories and barricade the doors. What Devin didn’t yet realise was that a gunman was roaming the campus and he was shooting Devin’s fellow students. He and his two roommates pushed furniture against their door as shots rang out from the adjacent Library building.
Devin scrambled for his mobile phone and called his mother who also lived in Florida. She switched on her TV and, to her horror witnessed the event being covered live on the news networks. Having shot a number of students the assailant was killed by police. Devin would never be the same again.
What’s more, the woman who he called that night, his mother Nadia Ramoutar had years before also nearly died at her own university in Florida. She was faced that November night in 2014 with the possibility that her son, like her, was in danger of losing his life on his own college campus at the same age she was when she herself almost died.
What Devin and Nadia came to realise was that their traumatic attacks were not the end of their experience with violence but the very beginning. The aftermath of the attacks left wreckage in their lives which took years to cope with and it’s a personal journey for both mother and son which continues today.
Unfortunately their stories were not isolated. America, which had always had violence woven into the fabric of its society had seen a deepening and a darkening of its social problems. High profile violent events became ever more common place from the early 1980s with the shootings of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan through the Rodney King beating and subsequent riots, the Columbine school massacre, the killing of George Floyd in broad daylight by police, right up to the mass shootings of today which, chillingly, average almost two per day in the United States.
The Documentary on One charts the lives of a mother and son whose experience mirrored the troubles their country was dealing with until they finally could take no more and left for the relative safety of Ireland.
“In Search Of Safety"was narrated by Donal O’Herlihy
It was produced by Donal O’Herlihy and Kathy Fox. Sound was by Ciaran Cullen.

The only gig that Bob Marley and the Wailers ever played in Ireland turned out to be Bob’s last ever outdoor show, before he tragically died of cancer just 10 months later. The concert took place at Dalymount Park in Dublin on the 6th of July 1980, a day that lives long in the memories and stories of so many people who were caught up in the vibe on that day. Very few people knew how unwell Bob was when he played the gig. This is the story of that gig from some of those who organised and attended it, many of whom said it changed them forever... (2024)
