This film, which won a Celtic Film and TV Best Animation award, is a gripping murder mystery set on a terrifying night in the life of King Conor of Ulster.

However, this is an opportunity to see a reworked version of this production with a new soundtrack and Irish language performances.

The animation project was produced by Raw Nerve Productions and financed by 成人论坛 NI and the Irish Language Broadcast Fund through Northern Ireland Screen.

Pearse Moore, Series Producer, says: "We are very excited about the broadcast of our Irish language project, as this is a new avenue for Raw Nerve Productions. The work put in by everyone involved was fantastic.
听
"These animated films highlight the wealth of talent available in Northern Ireland with local writers, directors, actors and animators all involved in the production."
听
This series of animations will follow the three-part Flight Of The Earls series originally shown on 成人论坛 One NI in 2007.
听
Presented by Antaine 脫Donnaile, the series will run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week at 7.00pm on 成人论坛 Two NI.
