Diarmuid Gavin and his "Dirty Old Towns" team were in Rathangan on Saturday to film our latest installation at St. Patrick's Estate, just outside the town. "Dirty Old Towns" will begin next Wednesday, April 20th at 8pm on RTE 1 and aims to encourage communities to work together to improve their area.
The residents of St. Patrick's Estate have turned a disused basketball court into a nine piece outdoor gym. 9 of our Standard pieces - the Cross Trainer, Rider, Air Walker, Surfboard, Twister, Tai Chi Spinners, Rower, Seated Puller and Chest Press were installed with help from the local Residents' Association.
More details of this series - which will be shown over 6 weeks - can be found by following the links below:
