The TV program 'Burnt by the Sun' is due to air RTE 1 at 21:35 on Mon 30th Mar and Mon 6th April. It will cover the experiences of Irish people who purchased foreign property and subsequently experienced problems.

The 2-part series will feature France in episode 2. The production crew traveled to France to shoot footage relating to the personal stories told.

The program will go some way to illustrating the 'scam' nature of many French leaseback sales, the fundamental flawed structure of the French tax incentive, and the unwillingness of the French authorities to take any action to remedy.

Many thanks to those who contributed to the program and to the program makers (Cornelia Street Productions), and of course to RTE (Irish national public service broadcaster) for commissioning.
