L-R: Liam(5), Eimhin(3) and Fionn(1)!
Liam - Sounds like "Leem" The Irish form of William. William means "Will, Desire" and " Helmet, Protection"
Eimhin - Sounds like "Heaven". From the Irish word Eimh, "Swift, Ready". This name is particularly associated with St. Evin, a bishop who gave his name to the monastery he founded at Monasterevan in Ireland. It is also anglicized as Evan.
Fionn! Another name to confuse you Americans!! It is pronounced f-yun...like fun with a y in it. Fionn was a mythical hunter-warrior of Irish mythology.

Documentary on One - RT? Documentaries -
Running at about forty minutes every week, the Documentary on One is the biggest arena in Ireland to which listeners can tune in to hear radio documentaries.
The 'Documentary on One' unit is currently the most successful radio department in the world - having collected over 30 national and international awards since September 2008 - and we hope it continues that way
Documentary on One productions are radio stories about real life.
It's all about ideas, life, events, experiences, perspectives but most importantly - stories.
Our fare is pretty eclectic and covers a diverse range of topics including life, sport, music, fun, family, health, politics, challenge, death and much much more.
The Documentary on One explores mostly Irish stories about mostly Irish people and events.

I wouldn't think to recommend these to most people, but since you're in Ireland and may find the topics interesting...
