ANNUAL REPORT & GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2007 IRISH LANGUAGE COMMITMENTS (continued) Commitments Results PUBLISHING • Redesign the RTÉ Radió na Gaeltachta website to improve the service to audiences at home and abroad. Commitment achieved. Redesign implemented in February 2007. • Aggregate Irish language output across all services on a common portal to include audio/video content such as Nuacht, Pobal etc. In progress. Pilot site to launch text, live and on demand audio/video by year end. • RTÉ Guide: One Irish language column per week. Commitment achieved. RTÉ PERFORMING GROUPS • RTÉ Performing Groups & RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta will explore and develop proposals for Irish language presentation of live and/or broadcast music programming, appropriate to RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta schedules and audiences, and featuring RTÉ Performing Groups. • RTÉ Cór na nÓg will feature Irish language song settings in its live and/or broadcast output. In progress. The Executive Director RTÉ Performing Groups and the Ceannasaí RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta met to consider ways of systematically disseminating recordings of works in the Irish language and to ensure, in particular, that these works are made available for transmission on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta. Actions agreed for implementation include a studio recording of Irish language settings performed by RTÉ Cór na nÓg in the 2007/2008 season, along with initiatives for improved liaison in general between the RTÉ Performing Groups, RTÉ lyric fm and RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta. Cór na nÓg performed works in Irish at the Navan Arts Centre Concert; Amnesty International Carol Service; <strong>Annual</strong> Carol Service, St Anne’s Church, Dawson Street, Dublin 2 and a concert in the National Gallery of Ireland. They also performed works in Irish at St Patrick’s Day Press Launch, Dublin Castle and National Children’s Day event in Children’s Ombudsman’s Office. RTÉ RADIO RTÉ Radio 1: • 12 additional hours of Irish language programming to be broadcast in 2007 • Presenters with Irish to be encouraged to use Irish throughout their shows in a natural way • In the event of the recruitment of producers in 2007, ensure a certain number have competence in the Irish language RTÉ 2fm: • Identify one DJ who would be comfortable presenting bilingually RTÉ Radio 1 delivered in excess of 12 hours of extra Irish language programming in 2007. This was achieved with the introduction of a 52 week schedule of Programmes in Irish on Saturday nights, combined with substantial use of Irish in our music output throughout the year (weekly Rolling Wave strand). We have encouraged the use of Irish in our mainstream programmes. Ronan Collins uses Irish regularly and embraces Nuacht as part of his show – as does Derek Mooney. In his role as stand-in presenter on Mooney, Aonghus McAnally peppered the show with Irish. Irish is integral to programmes such as South Wind Blows and Céilí House. No new producers were recruited during 2007. A number of producers have been identified internally who have the competence to make Irish Language programmes. Their skills range across a variety of programme genres and we hope to organise a “Meitheal Oibre” in 2008 to explore new programme concepts. RTÉ 2fm currently has one presenter who is comfortable presenting bilingually – Evelyn O’Rourke. 89
