In a management career that has stretched over four decades McEniff has managed Donegal on five different occasions winning five Ulster titles and their first ever All Ireland in 1992, has led Ulster to thirteen Railway Cup titles and has guided Ireland to victory against Australia in the International Rules series.
The programme also includes contributions from Donegal’s Tony Boyle, Armagh’s Joe Kernan and Jarlath Burns and Dublin’s Tommy Carr.
The production of Laochra Gael is in its 11th year.
The crew started filming this week with Juliet Murphy and Gerald McCarthy from Cork. The work will continue throughout the Summer at various locations all over the country, interviewing sporting talent from CLG on their playing careers.
The programmes go out in the new year, 2013.
