Limerick Interior Designer Opens Her Home on RTÉ’s Dermot Bannon Reveal
Limerick’s own interior design star, Geri O’Toole, is set to appear in the new RTÉ series Dermot Bannon’s Celebrity Super Spaces, offering viewers a rare look inside her personally renovated 19th-century cottage and outhouses. Known as the “designer to the stars,” O’Toole brings her professional expertise to her own home, sharing insights into how she balances the expectations of high-profile clients with her personal design vision.
The two-part special, presented by celebrated architect Dermot Bannon, premieres on Sunday, 26 April 2026 on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, with a second episode airing on 3 May. The series explores the private homes of notable Irish figures, delving into the stories behind their renovations, restorations, and extensions. In the first episode, Bannon visits Howth to tour the home of Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews before heading to County Cavan to spot the transformed church home of music producer Don Mescal. The Limerick segment features O’Toole guiding Bannon through her lovingly restored property, highlighting both its historical character and contemporary functionality.
O’Toole’s appearance underscores Limerick’s growing influence in the world of high-end interior design. As noted by local media, her feature represents a significant moment for the city’s creative community, showcasing how local talent is shaping national conversations around design and restoration. The series likewise highlights another Limerick connection: Don Mescal, the Limerick-born music producer now based in Cavan, who opens the doors to his uniquely renovated church home.
Through Celebrity Super Spaces, audiences gain an intimate understanding of how design professionals like O’Toole apply their craft not only to client projects but also to their own living spaces—proving that even those who shape the interiors of others seek sanctuary, comfort, and authenticity in their own homes.
