Alan, you were spot on - I received a response from RTE. Diarmuid is indeed
S28, and mtDNA H1a.

I would have really enjoyed the show only 12 months back but thanks to the
progress in knowledge mainly reported on this list I couldn't help sitting
picking holes in it.  I really need to get out more in 2009!   BTW, I have a
strong hunch Diarmuid is R1b S28 from the way they described it.  Although I
am sure most of his autosomals are Irish after his family being in Ireland
for generations, he did say that some generations back his male line came
from the north of Scotland, an area that was on the fringes of the Norse
settlement zone so that may be the origin if he is S28.
