The spa town of Lisdoonvarna is known for natural spring mineral water, traditional music and romance.
The attractions of the Clare town of Lisdoonvarna are many. One woman recalls that a Dublin doctor said that he would never miss spending ten days on holiday in Lisdoonvarna every year for the mineral air. Another man says that the town always had a great atmosphere with plenty of excitement and plenty of girls.
This episode of PM was broadcast on 3 October 1978.
‘PM’ was a magazine series reporting on aspects of Irish life with interludes for music from Irish performers.
‘PM’ first began on Tuesday, 20 September 1977 and was initially aired three nights a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7.00 pm on RTÉ 1.
The original presenters John O’Donoghue, Áine O’Connor, Nicholas Coffey and Doireann Ní Bhriain were later joined by Pat Kenny.
As editor Noel Smyth sees it, the Tuesday programme will consist mainly of film reports on topical events anywhere in Ireland, the Wednesday edition will concentrate on studio discussions, and the Thursday programme will be in Irish, with just as wide a brief as the other two.

‘PM’ ran until Thursday, 12 April 1979.
