It has been a very busy year for Roscommon woman and film and television editor, Gráinne Creighton.

The first, a three part crime series ‘Busted’, will air on RTÉ One at 9.35pm tonight. This programme will feature some of the world's biggest drug busts, and crucially includes the input of the defence forces, gardaí and customs. 

In the first episode. viewers will learn about Irish Naval Service vessel LÉ William Butler Yeats, which dramatically took container ship MV Matthew by force as it tried to head for international waters. In total, 2.2 tonnes of cocaine was seized during the incident, which had a value of €157 million- the largest such seizure in Irish history.

This will be followed by ‘Ireland's Population Crash’ on Wednesday. RTÉ One at 9.35pm This new series sees Miriam 0'Callaghan look at Ireland's birth rate and the reasons it has fallen to its lowest level since records began. With Ireland now having the fastest-ageing population in Europe, she explores the factors behind declining birth rates and what that means for generations to come.

In the first episode, the presenter heads to South Korea, which has the lowest birth rate in the world, to find out more about a movement called 4B. Its members are women who have chosen not to marry, have children or date.
