Ballykissangel

Soon after Father Peter Clifford's arrival he is rescued from the rain by a beautiful woman with a bad attitude towards the clergy. Later, he meets the quirky members of his congregation including, one who wants a fax machine in the confessional.

Keen to fit into village life, Father Clifford has a trial for the local Gaelic Football team, but he soon gets himself injured. Meanwhile, businessman Brian Quigley's holiday home development is stalled by a young couple living in a caravan nearby.

Widower Quigley want to rekindle an old flame. Ambrose believes his accident was a divine intervention, and Niamh makes plans to deal with her disappointment. Eamonn is worried about his European Union farm subsidy until he gets a tip from Padraig.

Father Clifford meets his match in a cantankerous old atheist. Assumpta helps Father Clifford pass his driving test, and Egan tries to close Angel FM.

While campaigning against Sean Dooley for the local representative seat in the Irish Parliament, Brian Quigley schemes up a way to get his message across. Meanwhile, Niamh and her father disagree. And Assumpta's ex asks her to leave with him.

Father Clifford is dismayed when he is told he is to be sent back to England. His congregation is not happy at losing their nice young priest either. Meanwhile, Ballykissangel is preparing for its very first Irish Festival, organised by Quigley.
