Grá ar an Trá start at 9pm on Monday on VM1
It is s essentially the Gaeilgeoir answer to Love Island. The show pairs up ten singletons in couples where one partner has fluent Irish and the other has just a cúpla focal.
The format of the show will be different to Love Island. There is no public vote, instead, cinnire Gráinne Seoige will decide which couples stay and which couples go based on how much progress they’re making with their cuid Gaeilge.
Speaking to The Journal, co-host James Kavanagh said: “I watch Love Island, I always think it’s a bit put-on, the emotions and the jealousy. On Grá ar an Trá, two days in, the contestants were bawling. They’re not actresses or actors, they’re real, normal Irish people.”
