Synopsis

Maggie Ryan can t help it! She constantly finds herself organizing and meddling in the lives of others, trying to match things and people together, from her neighbours in Dublin s Pleasant Square to her own family. With three bright, beautiful daughters who are still single Maggie decides that a little romantic matching is needed. However matchmaking is not as easy as it seems and Maggie s quest to find the perfect partner for each of her reluctant daughters is proving difficult. Her architect daughter Grace has had enough of heartbreak and given up on men deciding instead to concentrate on her career. Poetry obsessed Anna believes that no man can ever live up to her hero W.B.Yeats. While single-parent Sarah devotes so much time to her little girl Evie that romance constantly passes her by. Determined to get rings on those fingers Maggie Ryan believes that the arrival of bachelor Mark McGuinness, who has just purchased a house on The Square , is an opportunity far too good to be missed!
