4. 'A financial, legal, humanitarian and ecological disaster'

Episode 4 of 4

This week, the Parish’s favourite Troubadour loses a short battle with electricity and health and wellbeing officer Janice Fever swims in effluent!

A brand-new sitcom sketch hybrid made in Belfast and starring voices from all over Ireland. Each week we join the eccentric inhabitants of the Parish in their weekly council meeting to air their problems and grievances.

The Parish attempts to ‘go-green’ have backfired spectacularly, and the council hold an emergency meeting on what to do about the runaway disaster that is their ‘Environmental Awareness Festival’. Who’s to blame for the pollution of the rivers by the festival portapotties? Can the dubious renewable energy proposals really work and the best (and only) cop in town wrestles with the shock death-slash-possible murder of a hometown music hero on the opening night of the festival – on his night off!

PARISH MATTERS is a half hour window into an everlasting argument and an energetic and original comedy show written by Michael McCullagh and Phil Taggart and starring the writers alongside Michael Fry, Ciara Knight, Hannah Mamalis, Mary Flanigan, Michael Stranney and Peter McGann. Produced by Keith Martin and Exec Produced by Sam Michell. A FABEL radio Production for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 4.
