RADIO TELEFÍS ÉIREANN Charter (continued) IRISH LANGUAGE COMMITMENTS (continued) Commitments Results RTÉ RADIO (continued) RTÉ lyric fm: • 13 additional hours of Irish language programming to be broadcast in 2007 RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta: • Multi-cultural music strand, presented in Irish, aimed at new communities settling in this country • Provide the RTÉ Guide with one dedicated Irish Language feature per week • Develop the content on the RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta website Achieved 7 additional hours of Irish Language Programming with Ag Rince le Ceol - a new series in Irish in which guest presenters chose their favourite pieces of music. The full target was not achieved due to schedule changes. Thar Tír Isteach went to air in February 2007 and is presented from Belfast by Éamonn Ó Catháin. The programme has concentrated specifically on the music of the ‘New Irish’ communities and has received positive critical and audience response and was re-commissioned in 2008. A weekly feature was provided by RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta to the RTÉ Guide throughout 2007. The features related to scheduled programming, thematic treatments of Raidió na Gaeltachta output and highlighted the work of selected personalities and presenters. During 2007 both textual and audio content of the RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta website was constantly renewed with a new emphasis on programme webpages and a significant extension of our podcasting service. RTÉ TELEVISION RTÉ One: • Commitment to building our Irish language output and content during Seachtain na Gaeilge Níos Gaelaí was the centre piece of RTÉ’s 2007 programming for Seachtain na Gaeilge. This was a newly commissioned series to mark this important annual event, and drew on the talents of presenter Bob Kelly, well known from the popular RTÉ series No Place Like Home. The series explored the concept of Irishness with our new populations and was well received. Later in the year, poet Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill was profiled as part of the new Arts Lives series, an hour-long documentary on one of Ireland’s best-known Irish language poets. • Television commits to repeating Turas Teanga in 2007 RTÉ Two: • The Den has a policy of using quite a lot of Irish across its content, with a particular emphasis on the pre-school content, where songs and stories regularly integrate Irish words in a naturalistic way. Television IBD commits to continuing this policy and Young Peoples will continue to look at ways of ensuring its successful integration into its output. In particular, the major focus on Irish during Seachtain na Gaeilge will be replicated in 2007. In the light of a planned new initiative both in production and in language learning in 2008, it was decided that the repeat of Turas Teanga would have a greater impact in 2008, in particular in association with the new programming initiative In the Name of the Fada. As Turas Teanga was a language course aimed at learners with some proficiency, it will be of more use to viewers and users when the new 2008 series has been transmitted. This policy continued to be applied throughout 2007. In addition, Fluffy Gardens, a 7 minute cartoon commissioned from Monster Animation was commissioned in both English and Irish language versions. The Irish language version of the full series (40 episodes) was received in September 2007 and has been played twice in Den Tots between September and December 2007 adding approximately 550 minutes of Irish language programming to Young Peoples Programming schedule. 90
