Although 'Glenroe' provided the Irish nation with much entertainment and controversy, the departures of Joe Lynch and Mary McEvoy who played the characters of Dinny Byrne and Biddy Byrne, respectively, caused uproar amongst fans and even though the writers and producers tried everything they could to boost the ratings, RTÉ decided that the show was well and truly dying and removed it from the air in April, 2001 after 18 years on the air.
'Glenroe' still has a huge fanbase, despite not being on the air for over 5 years, and many fans are hopeful that 'Glenroe' may be brought back to our screens even now.moreless
