ROSG is delighted to announce they have been granted funding from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) under the Sound & Vision Scheme to produce a feature documentary based on the critically acclaimed new book written by Seán Ó Cuirreáin based on the wrongful hanging of three men in Connemara for the murder of a family in Maamtrasna in 1882. Ciarán Ó Cofaigh, ROSG said “We are very proud to undertake such an important project as this.” “While this is a Gaeltacht story there are national and international aspects to it as well. As producer I’m excited to bring this adaptation of the book to screen.” The new book, Éagóir, presents new evidence about the case, whereby three men were wrongfully hanged and five others were sent to prison for 20 years, a gross injustice that resonates to this day.

Tá ROSG an-sásta a fhógairt go bhfuil tacaíocht faighte acu ón Údarás Craolacháin na hÉireann (BAI) faoin scéim Sound & Vision, chun fadscannán faisnéise a fhorbairt do TG4 bunaithe ar an leabhair iomráiteach nua scríofa ag Seán Ó Cuirreáin faoi dhúnmharuithe Mhám Trasna. Dúirt Ciarán Ó Cofaigh ó ROSG gur “cúis bhróid” don chomhlacht a bheith ag plé leis an “tionscadal fíorthábhachtach” seo. “Cé gur scéal Gaeltachta atá anseo, tá gnéithe láidre náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta ag baint leis freisin, agus mar léiritheoir tá mé ar bís lena chur ar an scáileán,” a dúirt Ó Cofaigh. Déanann an leabhar nua Éagóir cur síos ar fhianaise nua faoin gcás, áit gur crochadh trúir fear go héagóireach agus cuireadh príosúin fiche bliain ar chúigear eile.
