Eco Eye — the long-running environmental programme — is to broadcast its last show on RTÉ One tonight at 8pm. The last episode tonight is going to focus on water quality, but IrishCycle readers might always want to look back at some of Eco Eye’s cycling coverage…
The show, which was produced independently, was sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency for 19 years, up to two years ago. Since then it has been unable to fully resolve issues with funding. RTÉ is to launch a new show later in the year.
Check out Eco Eye’s YouTube page for more of its archive.
