Headland of the Secrets 1996
Ros na Rún is a long-running Irish soap opera produced for the Irish language television channel, TG4. It was originally broadcast on RTÉ One in the early 1990s before the existence of TG4.

The programme is set in a fictional village called Ros Na Rún, located outside Galway, and near Spiddal, and centres around the domestic and professional lives of its residents.

It has established a place not only in the hearts and minds of the Irish speaking public, but also the wider Irish audience.
