Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl with TR Dallas, Lisa Keenaghan, Ruth Allen and Don Allen at Don’s Bar, Moate, where they were filming a documentary on Irish pubs earlier this year. Popular Moate pub to feature in upcoming RTÉ documentaryDon's Bar in Moate will come to national – and quite probably international prominence – when it features on RTÉ's upcoming documentary on Irish rural pubs, by Hollywood stars Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing in Dallas) and his partner Linda Purl (Happy Days). Always fascinated by the communities which develop around their local pub, Patrick decided to return to Ireland to see for himself how Irish pubs have evolved and changed. Throughout 'Duffy’s Pub', Patrick visits many locations in Dublin, Galway, Donegal and Mayo. Over a pint in the family pub, Patrick remembers his grandfather and visits the graves of his Irish family where he scatters some of his father’s ashes in a fitting and emotional finale to his trip.
