  • Many Times in My Career in RTÉ, I Have Been Fortunate Enough to Feel Genuinely Proud of the Organisation, the Work We All Do and the Impact It Can Have
    DirecTOR-GENERAL’S Review Many times in my career in RTÉ, I have been fortunate enough to feel genuinely proud of the organisation, the work we all do and the impact it can have. I certainly felt that during 2014. Not just because of the stand out programming, reporting and innovations RTÉ delivered across the year, but also because of the backdrop against which they were made. RTÉ has come through one of the most difficult and turbulent periods in its history. Over the past three years RTÉ has met, head on, the multiple challenges of editorial mistakes, dramatic falls in revenue, new competition and disruptive technology. Faced with these challenges, RTÉ has responded by developing a clear strategy to position the organisation for the long-term. We are now well on the way to evolving from a public service broadcaster to a public service media organisation relevant and essential to the increasingly digital lives of Irish people. The five-year strategy that TR É published in 2013 has set in train a period of change and renewal in RTÉ that continued apace during 2014. Everywhere you look in the organisation there are changes underway to meet the challenges we face. I can now say with confidence that our strategy is working. 2014 will be the second year running that RTÉ will achieve a small financial surplus, 6 Radio 1, lyric fm and 2fm, in addition to the station’s own news service. In parallel, online and on mobile we launched a national, international and I can now say with regional news service in Irish for the first time.

  • What Kind of Irish Was Spoken in Westmeath?
    What kind of Irish was spoken in Westmeath? AENGUS FINNEGAN By the time of the Gaelic Revival at the end of the 19th century, the Irish language as a vernacular had largely disappeared across Leinster. The small extent of the language which remained was probably confined to the most remote and out-of-the-way townlands, and scattered among a generation who had been largely forgotten by the outside world – with the possible exception of a small part of Co. Louth. It is no wonder, then, that it is primarily to the north, west and southwest areas of Ireland that scholars of the language in all its varying forms have since directed their attention. It is in these regions that the language continued to be spoKen into the 20th century, and indeed continues to be spoKen, though much less extensively than heretofore. This focus, however understandable, has left a large gap in our understanding of the historical distribution of the dialects of Irish across the eastern half of the country. The only means of filling this gap is to carry out a detailed study of the scant remains of the language, as found in word lists, folKlore collections, the later manuscript tradition (if available), everyday speech, and, last but by no means least, in placenames, including both townland and minor names. The great advantage of evidence from placenames to the historial dialectologist is the universal distribution of the placenames themselves. This means that aspects of the language which come to light in the placenames of one area can safely and easily be compared with developments in another.
