Community retail brand XL Ireland’s sales director, Paul Bealin, has paid tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the cast and crew of the Irish language soap Opera Ros na Rún after it wrapped filming on Series 25 of the XL sponsored show.
In a clever departure, the show’s creators took the decision not to reference the COVID-19 pandemic during its 82 episodes run in order to provide viewers with a true escape from the travails of life alongside COVID-19, the group said.
Every precaution was taken by the cast and crew over the 24 weeks of filming and the COVID-free storylines were a huge hit with viewers, it added.
Commenting, Bealin said, “We’re thrilled with the continued sponsorship of Ros na Rún. Siopa XL is at the heart of the fictional Gaeltacht Village in Ros na Rún and this partnership is one we are very proud of."
"The cast and crew showed the utmost care and professionalism over the course of the filming schedule and by not referencing COVID-19 they provided viewers some much needed respite from the worries of everyday life. This Silver Jubilee season was, for me, its best yet and I can’t wait to see what happens next season,” he added.
