To mark 100 years of Northern Ireland, Sean, Margaret, Ryan and Orla meet each week to share tales and myths about the border, and they never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

This week, we learn that the border is much older than 100 years. Orla tells the epic story of Queen Maebh and The Brown Bull of Cooley which led to a battle with the famous Cú Chulainn. Sean recalls the myth of how a magical school teacher created the Black Pigs Dyke, and Margaret goes further back in time to tell us how the very first partition was made by the supernatural Tuatha Dé Danann.

This One Time On The Border was written by Michael Patrick and Oisín Kearney. This episode stars Frankie McCafferty, Emer Casey, Stefan Dunbar, Aoibheann McCann, Michael Patrick, Ciara Elizabeth Smyth and Oliver Callan. It was produced by Marc McElroy.
