The Morbegs is a children's television programme which was transmitted every weekday (and occasionally aired on The Den) in Ireland. The show originally started on 30 September 1996 and ended on 15 May 1998 but continued in reruns until 5 November 2008.
The Morbegs starred two larger than life-size creatures called Molly and Rossa, who came from a mythical place called Morbeg Land.[1] They lived in a castle somewhere in Ireland, and were looked after by various magical, wise wizards. Rossa was played by Cindy Cummings and voiced by Diarmuid de Faoite and Dominic Moore. Molly was played by Anna Galligan and voiced by Majella Horan and Tara Flynn. The two Morbegs appeared alongside various human actors, including Carrie Crowley. Often, parts of the show were in simple Irish. The target age range was 3–6 years.
