Description: A reimagining of the classic series, is an action-adventure drama about 20-something Angus Mac MacGyver, who creates the Department of External Services (DXS), a clandestine organization within the U.S. government where he uses his extraordinary talent for unconventional problem-solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives. Joining his team on high-risk missions around the globe is maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton; Patricia Thornton, an ex-field agent turned director of operations; and Riley Davis, an unpredictable computer hacker with a chip on her shoulder. At home, MacGyver is entertained by his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer. Under the aegis of the Department of External Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip.
Broadcaster Pat Kenny has said he is "taken aback by the scale, bulk and size" of a five-storey, 104-bedroom nursing home proposed for lands beside his home in Dalkey.
The proposed nursing home rises from two storeys to five storeys.
Mr Kenny said that at five storeys in places, the scheme is one storey higher than the original apartment plan proposal.
He said the planned development site is surrounded by 10 householders’ back gardens.
He added that what is planned “is effectively a commercial enterprise” and the equivalent of dropping a 104-bedroom hospital into a residential area.
Mr Kenny said he will now go through the application “with a fine-tooth comb”.

“I want to look at the detail of the application to see whether all the difficulties that were presented in the original apartment scheme application and see if there has been any attempt to resolve those,” he added.
