Fair City to return in early September

DUBLIN’S favourite soap, Fair City, is set to make a welcome return in September, RTE has announced.

The broadcaster has confirmed new procedures and systems will be in place as they continue to implement its working safely on site protocols, developed in line with HSE guidelines and Government recommendations on Covid-19.

Brigie deCourcy, Series Producer, said: “It has been our priority that these systems were in place before committing to a return date so that we could protect the health and well-being of our actors, writers, directors and crew.

“We have been eager to get back to production, but the priority was the health and safety of the whole team. Everyone is delighted that we are now in a position to get back to telling stories and bringing fun and chaos back to Carrigstown.”

Fair City viewers will see new stories and dramas unfold as the programme will reflect life in Ireland with Covid-19. RTÉ and the Fair City team will respond to any developing HSE guidelines, and review and align our practices as appropriate, they added.
