TV Series featuring Irish Army

[Film Guy]

Hi Guys
We are currently developing a new TV series which will feature a story partly involving some Irish troops in Lebanon in 1996.
Just wondering if anyone can suggest parts of the country (Ideally in Munster) that could resemble Lebanon, I'm imagining beaches maybe though i believe it can be quite wet there in winter too. Ideally I guess we're interested in hearing ideas from anyone who served over there.

Cheers

Beaches?? I think you may have the wrong impression of south lebanon there. It would be more like the mountainy area around dunmanway. kealkil with no green if it is a summer trip.
I don't know the colors in winter since i did all summer trips.
Unless of course you are basing the story on the swanners in UNIFIL Hq in Naquora and thats a whole different ball game, you could use Parknasilla Hotel in kerry!!

How about South Hill or O'Malley Park in limerick??? Probably as close to the leb as u'll get.

Stop talking out your arse.

Yeah, ur right.

The Lebs not that bad!

Winter or Summer, Ireland is just the wrong colour. You can go to the rockiest part of the country but it will be all wrong.

On a winter trip to the hills- pick somewhere grey - wet and windy

I cant remember the sun ever shining or blue skies

there were no beaches- but Tyre rest home for the chosen few

or the scotsmans when on a 60 hour

the Glen probably resembeles it the most- when there is snow on the ground

and Kilworth or Kilbride can sometime resembe it through heavy rains

apart from that there is no where I can physcial think of

Where the Irish where Based the nearest I can think of is Kilbride..

[Truck Driver]

What about the Gap Of Dunloe area in Kerry ?

From my recollection, parts of that can be rocky

[Dazzler]

From Connaght Strangers Pics I will say some parts of Tipperary would look similar in winter.

Some more shots, sorry for the quality,

time and poor quality printing in 1979 - 1980 have taken there toll.
