Since its inception in 2009, Storyland has acted as a launch pad for Irish writing, directing, producing, and acting talent throughout Ireland to develop and further their careers. This is part of RT 's ongoing strategy to increase its development in drama output, by investing in and supporting the Irish creative industry. This strategy also supports the employment of hundreds of people across the industry, in order to bring more Irish drama series to television, and importantly to RT Player where scripted series dominate viewing.

Starring and written by Liv O'Donoghue, produced by Jo Halpin for Charmer Pictures and directed by Jane Moriarty.
