Raidió na Gaeltachta – Cultúr agus Pobal

Description

‘Raidió na Gaeltachta – Cultúr & Pobal’ looks at the influence RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltacht has had on the life and culture of people who live in the Gaeltacht since the service was established in 1972.

RTÉ RnaG’s story is told here through the lens of folklore and ethnology. De Mórdha gives an insight into the history of the media in Ireland prior to the establishment of Raidió na Gaeltachta, and looks at native and minority communities around the world and how they were portrayed on the radio. The cultural and historic landscape around the establishment of RnaG is also examined within the context of international civil and human rights movements. Raidió na Gaeltachta’s role in the community life and in creating a ‘trans-local’ Gaeltacht community is also discussed.
