Former firefighter Paul Redmond is hopeful his self-penned musical 'The Promise' will set the world alight when it airs on Irish TV on St Patrick's Day 2015.

The musical, which is produced by former 'Riverdance' director David Hayes, was originally staged in 2012 and tells the story of Irish rebel Sean Collins.
