Our ‘cities’ series ‘Urban Beauty - Urban Blight’ - is taking a tour of Irish cities - Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Galway. What makes our cities work - and fail? And who are the decision-makers behind them? Our series - for Newstalk 106 - is funded by BCI Sound & Vision and is a popular focused radio series exploring where we live and how we feel about it. We’ve recorded much of the Dublin and Limerick episodes and are now heading to Galway and Cork. The series is set to broadcast in late Autumn.

Its over…the first 8 week run of Winning Women. We’ve got great feedback from the series and we hope you caught some of the episodes.

We’re keen to get and take the series and the message to schools - particularly to teenage girls. if you’d like to help or think you know of a sponsorship match let us know.
