Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá is fiche de mhí Feabhra. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá sé mar aidhm anois ag Conradh na Gaeilge “gníomhú i dtreo Éire Aontaithe ar leas na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta” tar éis don Ard-Fheis vótáil ar son athraithe ar bhunreacht na heagraíochta. Bhí an ócáid bhliantúil ar siúl san Óstán Europa i mBéal Feirste an deireadh seachtaine seo caite, an chéad uair a reachtáladh é sa chathair le tríocha bliain. Lá suntasach a bhí ann don eagraíocht nuair a ghlac mórchuid de na baill gur chóir go mbeadh an Conradh i lár an aonaigh maidir le deireadh a chur le críochdheighilt na hÉireann. Tagann an fógra seo ag am cinniúnach don teanga, dar leis an taighdeoir Róisín Nic Liam, a thug rabhadh go mbeidh an Gaeilge i mbaol mura n-athraíonn meon an phobail agus muid ag druidim le comhaontú na tíre. I measc na n-abhár eile a pléadh, glacadh freisin le rún a éilíonn gníomh ó Stát na hÉireann chun dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht agus moltaí ón gConradh agus ó eagraíochtaí ar nós Bánú a chur i bhfeidhm. Bronnadh Gradam an Uachtaráin ar an ngníomhaí cearta Fergus Ó hÍr as a chuid éachtaí thar na blianta, lena n-áirítear a sheasamh in aghaidh na mBlocanna H agus a cheannaireacht ar Raidió Fáilte.Níl an dara rogha ag foireann sacair na hÉireann ach a gcluichí i Sraith na Náisiún in aghaidh Iosrael a chomhlíonadh. Sin de réir Phríomhfheidhmeannach Cumann Sacair na hÉireann (an FAI) David Courell, i ndiaidh an fhógra go n-imreofaí cluiche baile i mBaile Átha Cliath ar an gceathrú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Tuigeann an FAI go mbeidh an cinneadh seo deacair ar go leor den lucht tacaíochta, a deir a ráiteas, ach caithfidh siad cloí le rialacha UEFA nó glacadh leis an mbaol dícháilithe. Thacaigh gnáthbhaill FAI roimhe seo le rún ag iarraidh go gcuirfí Iosrael ar fionraí ó chomórtais UEFA mar gheall ar an gcinedhíothú sa Phalaistín. Bhí ráflaí ann go n-imreofaí an cluiche thar lear, ag cur san áireamh an teannas idir an dá thír agus an imní faoi chúrsaí slándála. Tuigtear, áfach, go bhfuil na Gardaí sásta nach mbeidh aon fhadhb ann. Níl a fhios fós cad a dhéanfaidh daoine mar fhreagra, ach is féidir a bheith ag súil le baghcat nó le hagóid ag an Staid Aviva ar an oíche.Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026 beagnach buailte linn, agus chun an ócáid a cheiliúradh, beidh dhá scannán as Gaeilge le feiceáil i bpictiúrlanna ar fud na hÉireann. Beidh lucht féachana Cúla4 ar bís faoi fhilleadh carachtair bhuí áirithe ar an scáileán mór sa scannán beochana SpongeBob: Cá Bhfuil SquarePants? San eachtra nua seo, caithfidh SpongeBob a chrógacht a chruthú dá leathbhádóir, an tUasal Krabs, agus an bheirt acu sa tóir ar thaibhse fíochmhar. Más rud é go bhfuil tú ag lorg rud eicínt níos dorcha, áfach, is féidir leat dul chuig Báite, scéal noir atá suite sna seachtóidí, ina dtagann rúin ghránna chun solais tar éis corp a fháil i loch. Ba é Ruán Magan, deartháir Manchán, a stiúir an scannán, bunaithe ar an úrscéal The Lake, le script ón údar céanna, Sheena Lambert. Tá ardmholadh faighte ag Báite on eagarthóir coimisiúnaithe TG4, Máire Ní Chonláin, a deir go bhfuil sé “fréamhaithe go domhain in áit agus i gcarachtair”, le béim láidir ar shaibhreas scéalaíochta na Gaeilge.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain. Tá an script ar fáil i d'aip phodchraolta.*GLUAIScríochdheighilt - partitionrún - resolutionbaol dícháilithe - risk of disqualificationar fionraí - suspendedleathbhádóir - partnereagarthóir coimisiúnaithe - commissioning editor
I am against MonarchiesCurrently, the British state is convulsed around allegations surrounding a member of its Royal family. Norway too is in the midst of a crisis around its monarchy. The law of both states will take their course, as is right.However, these controversies raise for me the very existence of monarchies. A family elite which through past colonial conquest and patronage, and in alliance with business and societal elites, continues to enjoy a place of wealth and privilege and influence. Given that the British state includes a part of Ireland, at least for the time being, this is more than an academic issue for those of us who are captives of this undemocratic system of privilege. I am instinctively against monarchies. Of any kind. Constitutional or otherwise. Monarchies are bad. The late Tony Benn put it well when he said that “the existence of a hereditary monarchy helps to prop up all the privilege and patronage that corrupts our society; that is why the crown is seen as being of such importance to those who run the country - or enjoy the privileges it affords.”Conradh na Gaeilge Votes for UnityAt the end of last year Oireachtas na Samhna in Belfast was a huge success. Thousands of Irish speakers, including Uachtarán Catherine Connolly, spent several days enjoying the music, dance, culture, arts, craic and discussions that are part of the oldest Irish language and arts event on the island of Ireland. In August Belfast will host the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world's biggest celebration of Irish music and culture.All of this is evidence of the change that is taking place. I was pleased to attend An Conradh's Ard Fheis. The conference was alive and vibrant with a new generation of young gaeilgeoirí determined to assert their Irishness, proud of their language and determined to stand up for their language and national rights. They were articulate, positive, funny, hopeful and generous. Micheál Martin out of step on UnityLast week, An Taoiseach Micheál Martin, in an interview with TG4, claimed that there is not much substance behind Sinn Féin's campaign on Unity. The Fianna Fáil leader, who has consistently rejected any common sense suggestions to prepare for unity, returned to his favourite and bogus argument that we need reconciliation before unity.Martin's comments are out of step with the political reality and popular opinion North and South. He also misses entirely the point that the demand for unity is not simply being put by Sinn Féin. Former leaders of Fine Gael and the SDLP, as well the SDLP leadership, Ireland's Future, the Irish Labour Party, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Good Friday Agreement and others are part of the growing demand for the Irish government to prepare for unity.
This year, the PorterShed in Galway will be the location for the 2026 Sustainable Media Ireland (SMI) annual conference. It is the first time it will be held outside of Dublin, and TG4 are delighted to be the host. Sustainable Media Ireland is a network of media organisations that come together to discuss and share information, consider policy and promote engagement on all aspects of sustainability across Ireland's media sector. SMI members include TG4, RTÉ, Virgin Media Ireland, Screen Ireland, Screen Producers Ireland, Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI), Craol representing national, local and community media commercial and online press, with support from Coimisiún na Meán. The conference will be a day-long experience, featuring talks and panels looking at many aspects of the media in Ireland, all through the prism of sustainability. While this clearly means careful consideration of the environment, it also considers the economic stability and social and cultural impact of our work. Previous SMI events took place in Virgin Media Ireland studios and RTÉ studios. This year's event will feature a look at the contribution Manchán Magan has made to the Irish language, television and our appreciation of the land. Technology innovator Glen Mulcahy looks into what impact AI could have in the not-too-distant future. After a very wet and stormy start to the year, there will also be a discussion on business resilience in the light of increasing extreme weather impact. Rónán Ó Domhnaill, Media Development Commissioner at Coimisiún na Meán said: "Coimisiún na Meán is committed to supporting sustainability best practice across the media sector in Ireland. The annual Sustainable Media Ireland event offers all members the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and develop policy. We are delighted to be heading West and holding the event outside Dublin for the first time. We're always conscious of managing the carbon footprint of the event by choosing timings that are convenient for public transport, which we strongly encourage, and providing vegetarian-only catering options. We're also excited to introduce online streaming for the first time for members unable to travel with international contributors joining us via video link. At a time when extreme weather events are impacting every part of Irish society, we look forward to exploring how media can address the climate crisis in a meaningful way." Deirdre Ní Choistín, Director General TG4: "TG4 are delighted to be hosting our media colleagues for this wonderful event. Sustainability must be at the heart of everything we do as organisations. It will be great to share best practices, hear from inspiring innovators in sustainable production and discuss the challenges we all face while working together to find long-term, viable solutions. Bringing people to Galway also allows us to showcase the best of what is happening here in the production sector in the West and to celebrate the achievements of our wonderfully talented media and creative professionals". The conference takes place on Wednesday, 25th February and is free for SMI members and staff to attend. Tickets are available on Eventbrite here.

International Law in TattersShould we be surprised by the decision of President Trump to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores? Should we be shocked by his claim that the US will now administer Venezuela or that US Oil companies will manage Venezuela's huge oil reserves? And what of his threats against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Greenland, Nigeria and others?The historical reality is that we have seen all of this before. The most brazen example this century was the invasion of Iraq in 2003, under the pretext of the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The truth then was that US and British interests were primarily concerned with the control of Iraq's oil. The result was a million Iraqi dead and a region torn apart by the subsequent political instability. International law was flagrantly broken. Torture and a brutal occupation followed. The Fellow in the Big PictureOver the Christmas break I watched more television than I do at any other time. Regular readers will know that I'm more of a radio man. RTE Radio, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió Fáilte, Radio Ulster. I listen to these every day. But I like westerns. And there is always a ton of westerns to be seen on television over the Christmas period. Some are old ones featuring Audie Murphy, Gene Audrey, Alan Ladd, John Wayne, Maureen O Hara and the likes. TG4 usually has a good selection of these.They also show a lot of movies featuring Clint Eastwood. I like his films. And not just the westerns. Although he first came to our attention in Ballymurphy with Rawhide. Unforgiven was the film of choice this Nollaig with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, all in starring roles. And it was followed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Irish government should be ashamed2026 began for the people of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Occupied Territories with more Israeli attacks by land and sea and air; winter storms that have added to the enormous hardship of people trying to survive in flimsy tents; and the denial of appropriate humanitarian aid.2025 also ended with Israel having killed nearly half of all those journalists killed last year. Reporters Without Borders recorded that 29 reporters were killed by Israeli forces making Israel “the worst enemy of journalists.”

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an fichiú lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Maraíodh cúig dhuine dhéag, paiste deich mbliana d'aois san áireamh, in ionsaí sceimhlitheoireachta ar Thrá Bondi in Sydney na hAstráile Dé Domhnaigh seo caite. Is iad an bheirt atá ainmnithe leis an sléacht Sajid Akram, a bhí 50 bliain d'aois, agus a mhac Naveed Akram, 24 bliain d'aois. Maraíodh an Akram ba shine ar an láthair agus gortaíodh an mac go dona sular tugadh chun ospidéil é. Scaoil an bheirt acu urchair ar shlua a bhí bailithe ar an trá chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar fhéile mhór na nGiúdach, Hanukkah. D'éirigh le fear darb ainm Ahmed al-Ahmed an t-arm a bhaint ó dhuine de na gunnadóirí, agus dúirt príomh-aire New South Wales gur mhair go leor daoine mar thoradh ar an gcrógacht a léirigh sé.I ráiteas a d'eisigh Pobal Giúdach na hÉireann, chuir siad a gcomhbhrón in iúl dá ngaolta agus dá gcairde thar lear san Astráil atá ag fulaingt mar gheall ar na hionsaithe. Dúirt Coimisinéir na nGardaí, Justin Kelly, go dtabharfaí tacaíocht agus cosaint bhreise don phobal Giúdach in Éirinn. Bhí agóid i Londain oíche Dé Céadaoin, lasmuigh d'Aireacht Dlí agus Cirt na Breataine, i gcoinne an diúltaithe cead a thabhairt do stailceoirí ocrais dul go hospidéal. Bhí an teannas idir na póilíní agus na hagóideoirí le brath agus breis is míle duine bailithe chun tacaíocht a léiriú do Qesser Zuhrah, 20 bliain d'aois, agus Amy Gardiner-Gibson, 30 bliain d'aois, atá ar stailc ocrais anois le breis is daichead a sé lá agus ag fulaingt go dona. Gabhadh beirt ar an láthair agus baineadh frith-agóideoir amháin amach as an slua. I mí Iúil, d'fhógair Rialtas na Breataine go raibh cosc i bhfeidhm ar an ngrúpa Palestine Action. Ó shin i leith, tá beagnach 2,500 duine gafa ag na póilíní agus tá seisear priosúnach ar stailc ocrais anois mar agóid i gcoinne mí-úsáid chumhachta an stáit. Faoi dheireadh, tar éis iarrachtaí fada ó bhaill den phobal agus ó pholaiteoirí ar nós Zarah Sultana agus Jeremy Corbyn, a chuir brú ar na húdaráis, thug otharcarr Zuhrah go dtí an t-ospidéal chun cúram éigeandála a fháil. Tá an tAire Dlí agus Cirt, David Lammy, fós ag diúltiú labhairt le teaghlaigh na stailceoirí.Tá sceideal cuimsitheach fógartha ag TG4 don Nollaig agus réimse leathan de scannáin, de chláir faisnéise agus de chláir cheoil acu, chomh maith le rogha mhór mhillteach d'ábhar do pháistí, buíochas le Cúla4. Beidh lucht leanúna an cheoil thraidisiúnta ag tnúth go mór le Geantraí na Nollag 2025, a chraolfar ag 7pm Lá Nollag, agus le roinnt clár dírithe ar Oireachtas na Samhna, a chraolfar le linn an deireadh seachtaine i ndiaidh na Nollag. I measc na mbuaicphointí eile, ó thaobh cláir faisnéise de, beidh George Best i gCorcaigh le feiceáil Lá Fhéile Stiofáin ag 8.15pm, ag insint scéal na tréimhse gairide a chaith an peileadóir cáiliúil thíos i gCúige Mumhan caoga bliain ó shin. Idir an dá linn, bainfidh daoine beaga sult as an scannán beochana Nollaí, scéal lách faoi fhia óg, atá ar fáil ar an seinnteoir anois. Is féidir an sceideal iomlán a fháil ag tg4.ie.Agus sin nuacht na Nollag. Feicfimid go luath sibh, ach go dtí sin, Nollaig mhór mhaith daoibh uilig ó chuile dhuine anseo ar Nuacht Mhall.*

Tonight, TG4 will show a documentary, Beo Faoin bhFód. It is a new Irish language documentary, commissioned and funded by TG4 and Coimisiún na Meán, about a man called Mick Meaney who was buried alive in a coffin in London in 1968. The man who organised the stunt was impresario and boxing promoter Michael ‘Butty’ Sugrue from Killorglin. Jerry spoke to Seamus Moriarty from Castlecove, who worked for Butty in London in the 1970s.

Tá Tyrone Productions i mbun léirithe ar ‘An Deis', clár siamsaíochta úr do TG4, agus tá siad ag lorg daoine ar mhaith leo páirt a ghlacadh sa chluiche úr seo. Tá an comhlacht ag iarraidh beirteanna a aimsiú bhfuil Gaeilge acu, bíodh siad ina gcairde nó ina ngaolta, le bheith páirteach sa chlár.
Topics covered: Gaeilge, music, heritage, culture, shame, colonisation, Irish Americans, Samhain, An Chailleach.In this special Oíche Shamhna episode, I speak with musician, broadcaster, academic and podcaster Doireann Ní Ghlacáin.Doireann is the daughter of TG4 political correspondent Sorcha Ní Riada (and granddaughter of legendary Irish composer Seán Ó Riada) and fiddle player and retired Garda Kevin Glackin of the renowned Glackin musical family. Between podcasting (How to Gael), TV presenting, MC'ing, playing music, having a string of live shows and being awarded a PhD in oral Irish poetry recently, she is an incredibly impressive and productive woman.She currently splits her time between New York and Ireland, and we spoke last week, the day after I saw her perform on stage in An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, with her show The Cailleach.In our chat, we talk about the rich heritage she has on both sides of her family, and about An Chailleach — and this reflective, liminal time of year.We also discuss the moment on Virgin Media's Six O'Clock Show in February 2024, when former TD Ivan Yates said he “couldn't be arsed” in reference to the Irish language — and one of the presenters stood up to shake his hand in agreement.We explore how deeply insulting that was to Irish speakers, how it reflects a colonised mindset, and how passionately Doireann feels about being a Gael.A self-confessed girls' girl, she describes herself as introspective — and simply put, I loved chatting to her.Bainigí sult as!

Diane Ní Fhlatharta, as Árainn ag labhairt faoin tsraith nua Ó Mhuir go Tír atá ag tosaigh ar TG4 anocht.
Cuirfear tús leis an chlár ‘Ó Mhuir go Tír' anocht ar TG4 ar 9:30i.n, sraith de cheithre chlár atá déanta ag HG Productions, dírithe ar roinnt de na hoileáin amach ó chósta na tíre seo agus bhí scéalaí an chláir, Niall Mac Eamharcaigh linn ar maidin.
An tionchar a bheas ag an maoiniú breise atá faighte acu ón rialtas ar straitéis agus fís TG4, i gcúrsaí nuachta agus cláracha do pháistí go háirithe.
Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an ceathrú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tuairiscítear go ndeachaigh fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar bord chuile bhád sa gcabhlachán Sumud atá ag iarraidh soláthairtí fóirithinte a thabhairt isteach go Gaza. Is Éireannaigh iad seisear déag as thart ar 200 oibrí deonach atá gafa ag Iosrael Bhí an grúpa ilchultúrtha ag tabhairt cúnaimh, bia agus leigheas go Gaza nuair a stop fórsaí Iosrael iad, thart ar 80 ciliméadar ón gcladach in uiscí idirnáisiúnta. Bhí Greta Thunberg i measc na ndaoine a gabhadh, chomh maith leis an bhfuirseoir Tadhg Hickey agus an Seanadóir de chuid Shinn Féin, Chris Andrews Tharla agóidí ar fud an domhain nuair a cuireadh stop leis an misean agus cáineadh an eachtra go hidirnáisiúnta. Meastar go dtógfar na daoine a gabhadh go hIosrael agus go ndíbreofar iad. De réir tuairiscí oifigiúla, tá breis is 65,000 duine maraithe ag fórsaí Iosrael go dtí seo, ach is dócha go bhfuil an fíorfhigiúr i bhfad níos airde ná sin.I gcathair Dhoire, tá sé ráite ag an gcomhlacht foilsitheoireachta Cló Cholmcille go bhfuil díomá mhór orthu gur gá dóibh díospóireacht phoiblí faoin toghchán uachtaránachta a chur ar ceal. Bhí cuireadh curtha acu ar na hiarrthóirí don uachtaránacht chuig ócáid an tseachtain seo chugainn, ach ní bhfuair siad ach freagra amháin, ó Catherine Connolly, an t-aon chainteoir líofa Gaeilge sa rás. Cé nach raibh Connolly in ann freastal, chuaigh sí i dteagmháil leis an lucht eagraithe chun leithscéal a ghabháil. Níos suntasaí, dar le urlabhraí Chló Cholmcille, níl freagra ar bith faighte go fóill ó Heather Humphreys ná ó Jim Gavin. Dúirt Cló Cholmcille gur deis iontach a bhí ann chun todhchaí an oileáin ar fad a phlé, ach b'fhéidir nach raibh mórán measa orthu de bhrí nach féidir leo vótáil sa toghchán seo. Chuir Nuacht TG4 ceist ar oifig phreasa Heather Humphreys agus Jim Gavin cén fáth nár fhreagair siad an cuireadh, ach ní bhfuair na craoltóirí freagra ach an oiread.Fógraíodh maidin inné go bhfuil an scríbhneoir, craoltóir agus déantóir clár faisnéise, Manchán Magan, imithe ar shlí na fírinne. Cúig bliana le cois an leathchéid a bhí sé. Thug Manchán le fios in agallamh a rinne sé ar Raidió RTÉ an mhí seo caite go raibh sé ag fáil bháis le hailse a bhí scaipthe go dtí áiteacha go leor ina cholainn. Sa mbliain 1970 a tháinig an Maganach ar an saol agus tógadh i nDomhnach Broc i mBaile Átha Cliath é. Rinne sé céim sa Ghaeilge agus sa Dlí i gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath, sular bhain sé aitheantas amach mar dhuine de cheannródaithe shéanra an chláir taistil i nGaeilge. Ní hamháin sin, ach labhair agus scríobh sé go machnamhach le linn a ghairme faoin mhiotaseolaíocht, faoin stair agus faoi chúrsaí teangeolaíochta na hÉireann, go háirithe i leabhair ar nós Thirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish landscape. Bhí sé le feiceáil le déanaí ar TG4 leis an tsraith Ag Triall ar an Tobar, atá fós ar fáil ar sheinnteoir TG4. Maireann a bhean chéile Aisling, a mháthair Cróine agus triúr eile dá theaghlach.*cabhlachán - flotillasoláthairtí fóirithinte - aid provisionsfuirseoir - comedianurlabhraí - spokespersondéantóir clár faisnéise - documentary maker

After the first presidential debate on Monday night went off without fireworks, people are looking to the other debates to help them make up their mind. But, one place you won't find one is on TG4, as they announced in September that they won't be holding a debate as Gaeilge…This decision has been criticized with some saying that Irish speakers are being excluded. Independent Senator Eileen Flynn, who wrote to the station to reverse the decision, joins Kieran to discuss.
Cé comh deacair is atá sé tabhairt faoin oideachas trí Ghaeilge – go háirithe mura bhfuil mórán den teanga agat sa chéad dul síos. I gclár faisnéise nua a chraolfar ar TG4 oíche Dé Luain, buaileann an tionchaire ar líne, Kayleigh Trappe, le daoine fud fad na hÉireann a rinne díreach sin agus iad ag freastal ar na Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna, nó mar is fearr aithne orthu, na ETBanna. Thapaigh Tessa Fleming an deis labhairt le Jean Gilger atá ag obair leis na ETBanna faoi na scéalta pearsanta taobh thiar den chlár. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mír ón bhliain 2000 nuair a labhair Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí, go ndéanfaidh Dia mhaith air agus Aodh Mac Gairbheith le Hiúdaí ó TG4, a bhain an gradam do Phearsa Teilifíse na Bliana ag Gradaim Scannán agus Teilifíse na hÉireann nó na IFTA's.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an naoú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir.Dé Domhnaigh, fuadaíodh bean as Éirinn i Háítí agus seachtar eile in éineacht léi, leanbh trí bliana d'aois ina measc. Is í Gena Heraty, atá ina stiúrthóir i ndílleachtlann in aice le príomhchathair Háítí, Port-au-Prince, agus ar as Cathair na Mart i gContae Mhaigh Eo ó dhúchas di, an bhean a fuadaíodh. Bronnadh roinnt gradam ar an stiúrthóir dílleachtlainne ar son a cuid obair dhaonnúil, Gradam Dínit an Duine um Oireachtais san áireamh. D'agair an Taoiseach Micheál Martin leis an dream a d'fhuadaigh an tÉireannach í a scaoileadh saor agus dhearbhaigh an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Simon Harris, go raibh “dianiarrachtaí leanúnacha” ar siúl lena fuascailt a bhaint amach. Tháinig borradh mór faoin táirgeadh plaistigh sa chéad bliain a chuaigh thart, agus cé gur táirge míorúilteach é i roinnt cásanna, is cúis tromluí é i gcás an truaillithe. In 2022, tháinig tíortha ar chomhaontú a bhí ina cheangal de réir dlí, le dramhaíl plaistigh agus ceimiceáin dhíobhálacha a bhaineann le plaisteacha ar leith a laghdú, ach tar éis dhá bhliain níl an conradh réitithe go fóill. Dé Máirt, bhuail na tíortha domhanda le chéile arís ag comhdháil na Náisiún Aontaithe in Geneva, ag cur tús le seisiún atá ag iarraidh an comhaontú a chríochnú, téacs an chomhaontú a fhormheas, agus é a chur os comhair Chomhdháil Taidhleoireachta na Lánchumhachtach sula nglacfaí leis.Tá Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann faoi lánseol i Loch Garman don darna bhliain: níos mó ná seachtain lán de cheol, amhránaíocht agus damhsa, agus buaicphointe na bliana do na taibheoirí. Tá réimse imeachtaí Gaeilge le fáil ag an Fhleadh fosta, idir cheol beo, scéalaíocht, TG4, stair, siamsóirí sráide, agus neart eile, ó Seachtain na Gaeilge, agus tá seans ag daoine an Ghaeilge a labhairt agus a chluinstin go nádúrtha sa spás cultúrtha seo. Críochnaíonn na comórtais agus na taispeántais Dé Domhnaigh, 10 Lúnasa agus tá na craoltaí le feiceáil ar TG4, beo agus le sruthú. Fógraíodh anuraidh go mbeidh Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann ag tarlú i mBéal Feirste den chéad uair in 2026, agus den darna huair sa Tuaisceart.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

This week's special guest is the multifaceted Cóilí Collins aka DJ Shampain. ing in Galway nearly 10 years ago as a duo with Evan Campbell KETTAMA as VSN. The pair went on to form G-Town Records, and brought Galway to the world stages of dance music, with Shampain playing everything from Boiler Room to tours of China. Shampain and Kettama's Galway influence on the scene culminated in the pair taking over The Big Top marquee outdoors during the Galway Arts Festival in 2023, and putting on an eclectic night with drag artists and drone artists in Salthill. But DJing is not the be all and end all for Cóilí. Shampain is a creative fella who doesn't rest - that means presenting Éire Eile, a TV show on TG4 about subcultures, jointly running a barber shop called Poblacht in Galway city, doing alternative silent film soundtracks with Slaughterhouse, running a mixed media / magazine and label called Freak and this year, finally releasing his own original music, with more to come. The night after our chat, Shampain plays the Big Top again with Interplanetary Criminal and Tommy Holohan and next week you can catch him at Jameson Connects The Circle Stage at All Together Now closing the stage after David Holmes.
