Last night's Room to Improve made the entire nation insanely jealous
SUNDAY NIGHTS WOULD not be the same without RTÉ’s Room to Improve – and last night’s show was up there with the best of the series.
Starting out with one of the worst properties you are likely to see, superhero architect Dermot Bannon had quite the job on his hands.
Meet the couple – Paul and Sabina Horgan – who were looking to renovate their recently purchased house by the sea in Portmarnock

But in general, everyone seemed to judge Paul and Sabina to be one of the loveliest couples the show has ever seen

Which, given how it started out, was quite the achievement by all involved
And Dermot seemed very happy for the couple
Another week down, another very successful renovation. What next?
