In this new series, Hugh guides viewers through a diverse range of restoration projects in the Irish countryside, from Cork to Donegal.
For the third episode of the new series, Hugh headed to Roscommon to meet Dublin-based architects Fiona Brugha and Paddy Dunne.
'GREAT TV'
The couple found a substantial 1870s colonnaded stone building, which was once the cowhouse belonging to the vast Rockingham Estate, nestled in the dense forest of Lough Key.
They planned on turning the thick stone walled ruin into a contemporary family home for themselves and their two small children.

The defining feature was the row of tall arches running the full length of the building, which gave most rooms in the house a view of the surrounding forest.
They purchased the property for less than €100,000 and had a budget for the works of €350,000 but a restoration project among the trees didn't come without challenges.
With the help of Hugh, Fiona and Paddy worked around the old building's quirks to construct their sleek dream home in the forest.

What a Difference a Day Makes: how Carol Drinkwater found her 'house by the sea'
The third Saturday in April 1985 — I'd been looking for what I described as 'my house by the sea' for 10 years, looking all over the world, wherever I was filming or working. I'd found one or two things that were suitable or within my modest budget, but for one reason or another they never came to fruition. In 1984 I was filming a mini-series in Australia. The producer, Michel Noll, met me in the hotel in Sydney and invited me out for a drink. Next evening we had dinner and he asked me to marry him. I didn't accept — I was a bit taken aback! We started seeing each other when we were back in Europe. We moved to Paris, lived in a tiny studio — 20 square metres full of love. The following spring he was attending the then Cannes TV and Film Festival. He encouraged me to come along. While he was doing business, I went looking for my house by the sea. The estate agents were very snooty about the money I had to spend. On that April Saturday, an estate agent said he'd take us inland, show us what was available. Michel came too. The first thing he showed us was a wall in a field — the rest had fallen down. Michel said this was too much of a ruin, and asked if there was anything else. And we climbed up a hill to this jungle of land — blue skies, swallows diving into an empty swimming pool, a house covered in ivy, overgrown. The place was empty, for decades it had been squatted in. It was falling to pieces but it had stunning sea views overlooking the Bay of Cannes. Inside was a curtain of cobwebs. I fell completely in love. Don't ask! It was a crazy love. Something inside said 'this is it', like when you meet a man and you know this is the one. There were two moments — the first, standing inside on my own in the sitting room, which had a fireplace. I looked out the window, all gunged up with rusty mosquito netting. I was thinking of the families, the love and laughter, the children, of what had already been here and how we could do the same. I heard the ghosts, voices of the past. And the second moment: when we stood on the upper balcony and looked out to sea — the blue sky, sun shining. I thought 'this is totally magnificent, more than my dream'. It wasn't right on the sea but it had beautiful sea views. I felt I'd come home, spiritually, inside. Multi-award-winning actor and writer Carol Drinkwater: "The biggest moment was when Michel and I split up. My mother said: "Come home." I said: "But this is home." And I stayed here, battled away until we got back on track again." It's hard to pinpoint a dream, where it comes from, how it grows. My parents had what could be described as a rather turbulent marriage. My mother was Irish, my father born in London. There was that split. It seemed to me, as a child, that we were all happiest as a family when we went on holiday by the sea. The rows weren't there then. At the sea there was harmony, which there wasn't at home. I find being by the sea very healing — I'm never comfortable when I'm far from it. Michel and I, both being freelance, never had a salary or proper pension between us. It's always been touch-and-go with money. There were times it got very sticky and I did wonder if I'd made a mistake. The biggest moment was when Michel and I split up. My mother said: "Come home." I said: "But this is home." And I stayed here, battled away until we got back on track again. When I make up my mind, I'm very dogged in my determination. Resistance works in my favour — it determines me to go at a thing stronger. There's a generosity here in the South of France, a growth in the vegetation, the lifestyle, that I love. I feel that most of the time — that it's right what we did. So many of our family want to spend time here. They've had birthdays, holidays here, and now they come with their children for birthdays and holidays, and that's very special. What we've created here goes beyond us, it goes on through the family line. It's our special place, but also something we share with others. Once we started farming, developing our olive farm, reading about the history of the olive, it opened up my mind to taking care of the earth, to deciding we must be organic here. Things that weren't in my mind when I was young and concentrating on being an actor. As we get older the question comes up — 'what if something happens to one of us? How would one manage without the two of us?' I say I'd sell it and go to Ireland, but who knows? If I ever say to Michel 'maybe we should sell it, do something more sensible', he gets mad. Which is great — it was originally my dream but it has become our reality. He took it on, embraced it with open arms. Financially, it has been a never-ending money pit. We never have spare money. But that's ok — what we have is beyond our bank account. We've had so much love here. It's really very beautiful — there is magic here. An Evening with Carol Drinkwater, at West Cork Literary Festival on Tuesday, July 15, in The Maritime Hotel, Bantry. Carol Drinkwater's new novel, One Summer in Provence, is out now.

'I was not good at Irish': Alex Murphy on Crá, the series watched in 68 countries
It's the little Irish-language series set in a local parish as it aimed to unravel a troubling and mysterious death. Now Irish crime drama Crá has become a global sensation with audiences - after being snapped up by TV networks and streamers in no fewer than 68 countries. Among the international broadcasters showing the series are BBC, high-profile French channel ARTÉ and the AMC/Acorn TV networks in the US. Crá's growing international appeal has come as welcome news to its cast and crew - including Cork actor Alex Murphy, who brushed up on his Irish to take on his first-ever Irish-language role. 'I did not anticipate the success of the show - I was just delighted with the opportunity to get back into a bit of Irish and connect to my roots,' says the actor, best known for his role as Conor in The Young Offenders, the latest series of which is currently filming in Cork. 'Then it came out, and I saw just how good it was and how well it was put together, and to hear it's doing well all around the world, and being sold all around the world is just amazing - our little language spreading. We love to see it.' Alex Murphy in Crá. With the Irish language at the forefront of a cultural drive among artists, filmmakers and musicians, the success of films like the Oscar-nominated An Cailín Ciúin and Belfast rapper movie Kneecap has also help drive interest internationally, with several other films and series as Gaeilge coming to our screens. It means that actors like Murphy are embracing the opportunity to work in Irish for the first time. 'It's amazing. I feel like there was maybe a dark patch in the Irish language that it was definitely considered untrendy, or some people would consider it dead. In recent years, to see that that just isn't the case is really exciting. I've got younger cousins in school and their automatic reaction isn't that they hate learning Irish. They're excited by it, and it's because of these great films and bands speaking the language, driving it forward. 'I was not good at Irish in school,' says Murphy, adding that working in the language presented challenges. 'I did pass Irish for my Leaving Cert and I was very nervous to take on the job. I knew I had a few months to prepare, so I just knuckled down and did the best I could. [Actor and teacher] Peadar Cox was on to me every week, doing classes and going over lines. I just quickly found for me, and I imagine a lot of kids in school would maybe resonate with this: because my passion is acting, when I knew that I could learn the language through my passion, it just came to me a lot easier. 'Right now, my Irish is the best it's ever been, and I'm continuing to keep it going. I think half the battle is confidence. You go in nervous, you have little brain-farts, and you buckle and you can't say anything. And so it's when you get a bit of confidence speaking it is when it becomes quite enjoyable.' Crá is filmed in Gweedore. Shot on location in Gweedore in Co Donegal, Crá tells the story of Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin (Dónall Ó Héalaí, who previously starred in the award-winning famine-set drama, Arracht). He's thrust into a deeply personal case when the body of his mother, Sabine, is discovered 15 years after she vanished. Forbidden from taking part in the official investigation, Conall joins forces with Ciara-Kate (newcomer Hannah Brady), a journalist using her true crime podcast to get to the heart of the case - and the village dark secrets that harbour it. As the first series goes global, the producers and broadcasters are now hoping to begin filming a second season in early 2026. Ó Héalaí, who recently completed filming the US indie thriller After, is a native Irish speaker who embraced the chance to work as Gaeilge, having previously done so on the powerful drama Arracht. That Crá is now available to audiences in 68 countries and streaming platforms is a bonus, he says. 'For us, an Irish language series in Gweedore, we're delighted to have that reach. I can't believe it's found an audience that wide. 'It's hard not to think that things like An Cailín Ciúin and Kneecap have had a role to play in how Irish language films and series are received internationally. Both those films really got out there, and rightly so, and I think it's very inspiring to see that. In terms of Crá, or Boglands as it's known overseas, it's hard not to think that this has a little part to play in it.' As an Irish speaker, he feels particularly glad at the impact Irish screen storytelling is having both with audiences at home and internationally. 'I'm definitely proud of where the Irish-language, film and television industry currently is in terms of how it's broken through. I feel fortunate to have come up at a time with schemes like Cine4.' The Cine4 initiative, a TG4, Fís Éireann (Screen Ireland) and Coimisiún na Meán partnership to develop original feature films in the Irish language, has proved a smart driving force. The widely loved An Cailín Ciúin, adapted from Claire Keegan's story Foster, made it all the way to the Oscars, with Colm Bairéad's drama getting a nomination in the Best International Feature category. It was also a big commercial success with cinemagoers in Ireland and internationally. Dónall Ó Héalaí in Crá. Films supported by Cine4 include Famine-set drama Arracht and the charming Róise & Frank,about a grieving woman who believes a dog who arrives at her home is connected to the recent death of her husband. Other films backed by the project include recent horror release Fréwaka and the forthcoming dramas An Fidil Ghorm and Báite. 'There were decisions made that allowed for this wave of new filmmaking to emerge,' says Ó Héalai. 'I think the success of a film or a series, it's largely from the top down. We had a terrific team and obviously, the story itself, the writers had created a real local thriller in a small town, a great whodunnit. 'Gweedore itself is such an incredible place, and so many people have commented on the landscape of the show - it's a central character to the show. Whether it's in Irish or in French or in English or in Japanese, if a story is good enough, it'll get people to want to watch it. Ultimately the story itself is compelling enough to bring audiences in.' Crá is available to view on the TG4 Player

Tributes paid to This Morning star feared dead in Air India plane crash
Former This Morning editor Martin Frizell has paid tribute to a former guest who is thought to have died in the Air India crash earlier today. It comes following the news of the fatal flight. Fiongal Greenlaw, 39, and his husband Jamie Meek, 45, are thought to have been on board the flight, bound for London's Gatwick Airport, which went down shortly after take-off. They are said to have been on holiday in India. The couple co-founded a wellness brand together, which had been promoted on This Morning. Martin, 66, who had been the editor of the ITV show until he stepped down earlier this year, paid tribute in a post on Instagram this afternoon. He included a photo of Fiongal alongside hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley in the studio. Martin wrote in the caption that he had a "vibrancy" and "sheer enthusiasm" when he had featured as a guest on the show back in January. Martin wrote: "So so sad to hear that Fiongal Greenlaw Meek and his partner are reported to be among the passengers and crew killed today on board the Air India flight bound for Gatwick. I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I'm a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over." He continued: "And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his Wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him. Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie." Among those who have liked Martin's post is Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid. Lisa Snowdon, who has appeared on the show on numerous occasions, reacted in the comments with a teary-eyed emoji and one of a broken heart, Mirror UK reports. Fiongal appeared as a guest on This Morning in January. During the episode, he gave hosts Ben and Cat a reading over their auras. Martin was still the editor of the long-running show at the time, prior to his final day in the role in February. The guest later returned following Martin's departure for another segment. He was brought back as a spiritual advisor on the show in April, with him appearing alongside Ben, Cat and Josie Gibson in the TV studio based in London. After his first visit, a post shared by his wellness brand the Wellness Foundry on Instagram read: "So this happened ... The biggest gig so far! Fiongal on This Morning - it was very nerve-wracking but he was honoured to chat about one of his favourite topics to such a big audience." In an apparent message for him, the post on the platform continued: "Thank you to everyone [at] This Morning for being so amazing and guiding me through. Thank you to [Cat and Ben] for being so kind and welcoming." Fiongal and Jamie are among those thought to have died in the plane crash earlier today. As previously reported, the couple had posted a video from Ahmedabad airport just moments before boarding the plane. They had been visiting India together. In the video shared from the airport, Fiongal and Jamie were seen smiling as they prepared to fly home. They are said to have spoken about their time away together in the video message. In the clip, Fiongal reportedly says: "We are at the airport just boarding. Goodbye India. Ten-hour flight back to England. What was your biggest takeaway Jamie?" Jamie replies: "I don't know." It prompts laughter from Fiongal, who responds to his husband: "Thanks for your contribution." Fiongal then teases that his takeaway was "don't lose your patience with your partner". Jamie replies: "You snapped at me at the airport for having chai." Surrounded by fellow travellers, the clip ends with Fiongal saying he's returning to the UK "happily, happily calm".
