RTÉ HAS ANNOUNCED the release date of a new season of The Traitors Ireland. The competition show, which debuted in Ireland last year, is coming back for a second season on Sunday 30 August. The traitors have private meetings at night and select one of the other contestants – known as the faithfuls – to murder. The faithfuls are trying to eliminate a traitor, whilst the traitors must hide their identities and blend in among the faithfuls. The prize pot for the second season has remained the same as last year at €50,000.
