Mark Flagler was interviewed for a programme on RTE’s Nationwide. The 30-minute programme will focus on the International Appalachian Trail Ulster-Ireland. The International Appalachian Trail (IAT) Ulster-Ireland is a 279-mile / 449km long distance walking trail starting in West Donegal in the Republic of Ireland which continues into Northern Ireland passing through the Sperrins Mountains, the Causeway Coast and Glens of Antrim before it finishes in Larne in County Antrim.

Mark was filmed and interviewed by Brain McVeigh (McVeigh Broadcast) and Mary Harte (Beltaine Productions). Mark shared his experience of walking the route on the island of Ireland, filming the IAT, his company Flagler Films and producing videos about this epic trail. Some of the footage that Mark captured for Tourism Ireland will be showcased in the programme.

Mark is also on the steering group/committee that helped establish the International Appalachian Trail in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Mark was the first person to ever walk the Ireland (Donegal) section of the route in 2011.

The Nationwide programme will be aired on RTE One in early 2023.
