The good news is that many Kerry viewers will be able to see it when it airs on satellite TV on TV5 Monde (Sky channel 796 and UPC channel 825) on Valentine’s Day. Millions more will see the programme on the satellite channel which airs all over Europe, the US and Asia.
The crew from the show, ‘Faut Pas Rêver’ were in Ireland to film their 11o minute show about Irish culture for the France 3 channel.
During their visit to Kerry, they did a segment with one greyhound breeder, Liam Dowling from Ballymac who was training Ballymac Vic for a race in the run up the race in Kingdom Greyhound Stadium. The crew were happy as they filmed the dog racing to victory.
They also hired an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to get spectacular shots of the coastline and the town.
See the video preview of the show here, featuring a shot of Declan Dowling of Kingdom Greyhound Stadium celebrating.
