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. And we're busy preparing for Peppa Pig as Gaeilge too, coming to RT jr and RT Player very soon. There's plenty of new Irish-language content for kids in Seachtain na Gaeilge as well:

Mya Go returns for a new series. This pre-school series focuses on a young girl whose enthusiasm for life affects everyone around her. Mya Go lives in the bustling town of Everyday with the Go family, and spends her days discovering the world around her. Weekdays from 8.05 on RT Jnr.

B n agus Beach begins on Monday the 8th of March on RT jr. Mixing charming storytelling with the natural world, these original stories are told through the wide-eyed wonder of Ladybird and Bee. Weekdays at 7am and 840am on RT Jnr.

RT Home School Hub Seamus the Dog will be playing lots of Games during Seachtain na Gaeilge to help everyone learn some new Irish words. And brothers Niall and Se n McDonagh from High Rock Productions will be popping up on Home School Hub with their unique comic take on the ups and downs of learning Irish. Weekdays at 10pm on RT 2.

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. At a time when we are all thinking of relatives and friends far away, the song is a reminder that, though apart, we will soon be together again. The unique recording will be released across RT social channels.
