Patrick Freyne from irishtimes said that Cúán Mac Conghail, series producer of Home School Hub and company director of the production company Macalla Teoranta, was in Mayo when lockdown was first announced last March. He considered just staying there for the duration. Then he got a call from Suzanne Kelly, Head of Children and Young People’s Programming in RTÉ. She said: “What are the chances of you being able to get a school up on air?”
“Eight days later, we were on air,” says Mac Conghail. “I don’t think I slept over that eight days. It was nuts. I look back and it’s a blur… The next thing I remember it was Easter.”
