For the first time in 20 years, Hector Ó hEochagáin isn't travelling around the globe in the name of television.

After bringing cameras to Siberia, Saigon, Cuba, The United States and countless other places, the small matter of a global pandemic has grounded the TG4 presenter!

But, Hector is a man who won't be stopped, and this time, he's embracing all there is to love about this small country, and the hundreds of thousands who have moved here and have made it home.

'Eire Nua' is a brand new TV show which sees Hector cross the country meeting some incredible people from all around the world who have embraced the Irish sport, culture, hair colour and the language.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Hector shared some of the stories he heard along the way, including a Russian man who is essentially running a Gaeltacht!
