Dermot Bannon is far from impressed when things don’t go his way in the new episode of Room to Improve.
The architect arrives at the small seaside town of Portrane in North County Dublin to embark on his next project but not before taking some downtime to fulfil an architectural dream of his.
Dermot is excited to tick one major item off his architectural bucket list as he sets about Lambay Island, home of Lambay Castle designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, a hero of his.
“I’m really excited, I’ve never been to Lambay and it’s somewhere I’ve wanted to go all my life!” he says.
The boat trip takes a turn for the worst, however, when Dermot learns the island is closed to public access and he will have to ‘make do’ viewing from afar.
What ensues can only be defined as a total temper tantrum as Dermot gets into a major huff!
“I’ve waited all of my architectural career for this,” he exclaims.
“You get so close to the Island, and you think you’re getting onto it, you do become a seven-year-old again!” he admits.
