Tipperary family to feature on RTÉ's Raised by the Village

Pictured is Josh from Dublin who will be transplanted to the village of Dundrum, Co Tipperary for a new tech-free, outdoor life at The Crowe Family Farm

A Tipperary family are set to appear on an RTÉ show very soon.

This week on Raised by the Village on RTÉ One, families from Tipperary and Longford take centre stage as they mentor Josh from City West and Diana from Tullamore.

Now in its third series, Raised by the Village follows eight urban families who need help with a teenager veering-off-the-rails and take action by having their child experience life in a rural village and all that comes with it.

Housebound gaming obsessive Josh from the Dublin suburb of City West is transplanted to the village of Dundrum, Co Tipperary for a new tech-free, outdoor life at The Crowe Family Farm.

13-year-old Josh lands slap bang in the middle of the Crowe family’s pre-Christmas turkey rearing season. It’s a stark lesson in farm family values as Josh struggles to keep up with his new hectic real-life work schedule.

Meanwhile, in the village of Keenagh, Co Longford, the farming Stewart family introduce stroppy Tullamore 14-year-old Diana to the rigors of life on their beef stock and open farm.

At home Diana’s relationship with her mam Katherina is strained. The Stewart Farm she meets a family who work hard as a team and hold the family matriarch, Diane, in high esteem. It’s a lifechanging lesson in the value of mutual respect for Diana.

But will Josh and Diana succeed in being Raised by the Village?

Watch Raised by the Village this Sunday at 6:30pm on RTÉ One.
