ON TELEVISION
In addition to dedicated Cl racha Gaeilge, lots of RT programmes across the schedule will be taking part in Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021.
Cl racha Gaeilge
A new four part series of Mo Thr ibh (My Tribe) begins on RT One on Monday the 8th of March at 1930. With narration by Peter Coonan, the series goes behind the newspaper headlines to discover the real Hip Hop crews, Indie kids, Ravers and Metallers, exploring the passion, dedication and sense of belonging that their tribe gives them. These are worlds that are rarely seen or experienced on Irish television, lifting the lid on the underground of some fascinating subcultures.
A one-off special, C pla Focal, takes a wry look back at how we taught Irish on TV throughout the decades remembering Bunt s Cainte, Anois is Ar s, Dil n Deamhas, Telef s Scoile,Now You're Talking, Turas Teanga and many more gems. Tuesday 16th of March at 1900 .
A new series of Cosc returns to tell the story of censorship in Ireland as far back as the foundation of the state, and looks at some of the more surprising and controversial examples. In this series we look at the banning of The Dubliners classic Seven Drunken Nights', John McGahern's novel The Dark, and the ban and ending of Corporal Punishment.
RT TWO and RT jr
From Wednesday 14 April th, RT 2 will dedicate an hour every Wedneday (8-9pm) to quality home-produced content as Gaeilge' from RT and TG4.

Music
To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge, the RT Concert Orchestra is collaborating with renowned singer/songwriter John Spillane the gorgeous ballad All the Ways you Wander' will be translated into Irish by poet Simon Faol in and sung by Sligo singer Niamh Farrell.

The unique recording will be released across RT social channels.
