Meanwhile, songwriter and music producer Don Mescall will give a tour of his home in Cavan, which is a renovated church, and interior designer to the stars, Geri O’Toole, will show her converted 19th century cottage and outhouses in Limerick.
She will also share her experiences of working with famous and wealthy clients and how she manages their expectations.

Bannon will later pay a visit to the Dublin home of musician Camille O’Sullivan and actor Aidan Gillen, who have brought this 1940s protected structure back to life from dereliction, reinstating it as a family home.
The couple spent nine years working on their home, which recently won the RIAI Public Choice Award.
The architect will also step inside the dressing room of drag queen Panti Bliss as Rory O’Neill will showcase a treasure trove of drag couture.
The home of celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna will be the last stop during the second episode.
She lives in a 300-year-old cottage in Broadspear in England, where she runs a 100-acre sustainable farm in the grounds of Highclere Castle in Hampshire with her husband Harry.

Speaking to the Sunday Independent about his new show, Dermot Bannon said “it’s not Room to Improve”.
“I’m not fixing anything. I’m going in and doing a deep dive into who they are through their house. If something is mad, I’ll say it.”
The new show will follow Bannon finding out what the Irish stars’ homes mean to them and exploring personal stories behind their renovations.
Dermot Bannon’s Celebrity Super Spaces will air on Sunday, April 26 and May 3 on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
