As audience needs changed and evolved, RTÉ, together with the independent sector, rose to the challenge to ensure that quality Irish content was produced to inform, educate and entertain. From factual to entertainment, lifestyle, cláracha gaelige, drama, comedy and young people’s, the sector responded to unprecedented changes to daily life in Ireland and across the world to produce relevant and distinctive content. Audiences in Ireland connected with Irish content in increasing numbers across all genres, with RTÉ’s all-day share of TV viewing increasing by 1.7% to 27.2%1. RTÉ delivered 43 of the top 50 programmes on Irish television in 2020, with 14 being produced by the independent sector. Independent productions such as Ireland on Call and RTÉ’s Home School Hub played a pivotal role in meeting new audience needs and complemented News & Current Affairs content across TV, online and radio. As well as creating innovative new content and formats to meet these needs, the independent sector demonstrated great agility by adapting production models to comply with public health advice and restrictions. Series such as Ireland’s Fittest Family and Operation Transformation used best-practice production methods to ensure their safe return to screens, while new programming such as Gardening Together with Diarmuid Gavin, No Place Like Home and Open for Business reflected shifts in audience lifestyle and needs during the pandemic.

Through our new programme, Íontas has something to suit everyone's tastes - young, old, local, visitor, music, arts, dance, comedy and theatre. We are particularly excited that in January 2014, we will be hosting our debut Pantomime, 'The Good, The Bad & The Panto!’ A special thanks to all the volunteers at Íontas theatre, whose continuous support and dedication to the venue proves invaluable to both staff and patrons. We would also like to thank Monaghan County Council for their ongoing assistance in providing this fantastic facility for our community.

    1 To: His Excellency Hojjatoleslam Sayed Mohammad Khatami, President of Iran BOBBY SANDS STREET, Tehran, Iran. THE name Bobby Sands is known throughout the world, symbolising the heroism of an Irish prisoner and his comrades who died on hunger strike in their unequal fight against their British jailors. Over the course of the past two years British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has been lobbying Iran’s Foreign Minister to change the name of Bobby Sands Street, where the British Embassy is situated, in the capital Tehran. (It was formerly known as Winston Churchill Street.) Bobby Sands was an Irish patriot and martyr, who died on 5 May 1981, after 66 days on hunger strike. Whilst in prison he was elected as a Member of Parliament [MP]. One hundred thousand people attended his funeral, including the Iranian ambassador to Sweden. The British government has no right to be in Ireland, just as it has no right to be interfering in the affairs of any other nation. We appeal to the Iranian government and its people not to bow to requests from the British government to rename Bobby Sands Street. Sincerely, Danny Morrison Michele Neylon [email protected] Kathleen Collins [email protected]. In the Name of Allah the Compassionate and the Merciful....please leave the street named for Bobby Sands Sinn Fein elected representatives: Gerry Adams MP Pat Doherty Martin McGuinness Mitchell McLaughlin Bairbre de Brun Mary Lou McDonald Martin P Meehan Martin McManus Mrs Cathy Rafferty Paul Corrigan Pat Ó Rawe Patrick MacNamee Philip Mc Guigan Paul

Déantar, dá réir sin, réimse leathan ábhar cláir a chur ar fáil – ar an teilifís, ar an raidió agus ar sheirbhísí éagsúla digiteacha – atá ina léiriú ar chultúr, ar shaol agus ar iléagsúlacht na hÉireann sa lá atá inniu ann. Is dlúthchuid den saol ag pobal na hÉireann seirbhísí RTÉ le leas á bhaint ag 95% de na daoine fásta (18+ bliana d’aois)1 as seirbhís de chuid RTÉ ar a laghad uair sa tseachtain i rith na bliana 2017. Tá muid sa spás gur féidir linn daoine cumasacha nua in earnáil na meán cumarsáide a chothú. Le go mbeidh rath orainn, tá sé ríthábhachtach cláir a choimisiúnú ó léiritheoirí neamhspleácha. D’oibrigh RTÉ go dlúth, i rith na bliana 2017, le comhlachtaí léiriúchán neamhspleách a chuir ábhar cláir ar ardchaighdeán ar fáil, ar an teilifís, ar an raidió agus ar na meáin dhigiteacha, arbh ábhar sainiúil de chuid na hÉireann é. Cuidíonn samhlaíocht na gcomhlachtaí sin le RTÉ a dhealú ón líon mór iomaitheoirí i margadh na meán cumarsáide digiteach. Tacaíonn an obair le hearnáil na léiritheoirí neamhspleácha le fostaíocht, chomh maith le héagsúlacht a thabhairt i gceist maidir le sceidil RTÉ.
