In this new entertaining six part series for TG4, Meon na mBan (series 2) takes a look at the subjects close to the heart of every woman – and reveals what women really think about Money, Childbirth, Holiday Romances, Religion, Diets, Exercise, Secrets and Lies – there are no taboos in Meon na mBan.
In a series of candid interviews we hear from a host of Irish celebrities who reveal all - their innermost desires, fears, opinions and dreams. TV favourites Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, Anna Nolan, Róisín Ní Thomáin, Sinéad Desmond, Evelyn O’Rourke, Amanda Brunker, Bláthnaid Ní Dhonnchadha and Dearbhla Lennon are just some of the women who lay bare their thoughts and compelling opinions. And not forgetting the men, we hear from TV presenter Daithí Ó Sé, showbiz editor Paul Martin and Gaelic player Conall Ó Máirtín to name a few.
Intercut with these frank and revealing interviews are real-life stories of women whose experiences relate directly to the themes. We find out how Donegal girl Helena lost half her body weight in 18 months and how one woman overcame her heroin addiction. We also hear how musician and artist Deirdre Ní Bhraonáin discovered the spiritual leader Amma, known to millions as the ‘hugging guru’, and how one girl’s holiday romance developed into much more.
Meon na mBan brings you a rare and truthful insight into the often complicated modern Irish woman’s life.
