John Creedon explores more of the true meanings behind Irish place names, beginning by investigating the influence of bards right across the country. He heads to Tallaght, Co Dublin, where he meets actor Emmet Kirwan to discuss the meaning of the name Tallaght and how it inspired Emmet's latest work, which is a radio play about an ancient bard by the name of Tuan. John also meets his old friend Pat Shortt to find out how New Birmingham in Co Tipperary inspired D'Unbelievables, and investigates the legacy of the coalmining industry in rural Tipperary
