Galway Races New TV Series

Rásaí na Gaillimhe
(The Galway Races)

Rásaí na Gaillimhe, a new Irish television comedy drama series based on the annual seven days of the Galway Races, will be given a special advance screening this weekend as part of the 21st Galway Film Fleadh.

Don Wycherley (Bachelor’s Walk), Eoin Mac Diarmada (Rós na Rún), Owen Roe (Ballykissangel) and Séamus Moran (Fair City) feature as members of a group of disparate characters attending the Galway Summer Race Festival and "crossing paths with each other with hilarious, tragic and often disastrous results".

Rásaí na Gaillimhe was filmed on location at Ballybrit, Eyre Square, Quay Street and other parts of the city commonly frequented by Galway racegoers.
