The Dominican Friars will be in Kerry next week filming at sites of Christian heritage.
The religious order is making a series that will be broadcast on its YouTube channel, called Treasure Ireland.
It's planned the series will be available from early autumn.

The Irish Dominican Friars confirmed they had asked to film on Sceilg Mhichíl for the series.
They said the Office of Public Works - which is responsible for the UNESCO World Heritage Site - refused them permission.
Fr Conor McDonough, who's involved with the documentary series, says it's unfortunate but he appreciates the vast number of requests made to film there.

He says they've worked with the OPW to film at many other heritage sites across the country.
