Director General Pól Ó Gallchóir has hailed the recognition for the range and quality of TG4’s output that is reflected in the 5 awards garnered by the channel at the 2015 Oireachtas na Gaeilge Media Awards, presented in Galway over the weekend. These are the premier Irish language media awards and are much coveted by industry professionals. This year’s winners range from a compelling personal TV documentary to a TV news reporter who has pioneered the use of video journalism in Ireland. The full list of TG4 recipients at Oireachtas na Gaeilge 2015 Media Awards is: Special Award: Ros na Rún (produced by Eo Teilifís/Tyrone Productions) The Irish language TV soap is celebrating its 20th season on TG4 and is held in high regard for its portrayal of the lives and loves of a small village on the western seaboard. It has also dealt with some of the darkest issues in modern living. TV series of the Year: Corp + Anam (produced by MagaMedia) The acclaimed and award-winning gritty crime thriller that chronicles the difficult professional and intense personal life of a tenacious TV crime reporter had already won plaudits for its first season. This second series also dealt with the murky corners of life on the fringes of the law, and interrogated the frenzied role the media play in presenting human tragedies as consumable bite-size news. TV Programme of the Year: Katie (produced by Fócas Films) A heart-warming documentary that tells the very personal story of Katie O’Halloran, a young Connemara woman. Her indomitable spirit has risen to meet the enormous challenge placed on her and on her family by her rare medical condition. She was born with Femur Fibula Ulna Syndrome but is determined to use modern technology to ensure that this condition will not rule her life. TV Broadcaster of the Year: Seán Mac a tSíthigh (Nuacht TG4) The West Kerry native is a natural visual storyteller and has pioneered the use of video journalism to report on the issues and personalities of his native patch – and much further afield. In doing so he has won prizes at national and European level and this Irish language award is of particular significance for him. Actor of the Year: Dara Devaney His compelling performance as the central character in the Connemara based film/TV thriller An Bronntanas has brought him to the attention of a much wider audience and much is expected of an actor who already has an extensive list of stage/TV and film credits to his name.

Chruthaigh saothar agus pearsana TG4 go hiontach ag Gradaim Chumarsáide an Oireachtais 2015 a bronnadh ag ócáid spleodrach i gcathair na Gaillimhe. Is iad na duaiseanna seo príomh-ghradaim na meán Gaeilge agus tá a gcáil bunaithe agus ag neartú ó bhliain go bliain. Is léiriú samplach ar raon agus ar fhiúntas TG4 é an liosta duaiseoirí ó TG4. Is iad na saothair a fuair Gradaim do TG4 i mbliana: Gradam Speisialta: Ros na Rún ( léiriú le Eo Teilifíse/Léirithe Thír Eoghain) Tá an sobaldhráma teilifíse seo fiche bliain ar an bhfód i mbliana agus é neadaithe go daingean i samhlaíocht an phobail féachana. Bronnadh an gradam seo ar an saothar as ard-chaighdeán léiriúcháin, scripte agus aisteoireachta agus as cumas an dráma déileáil leis an ngreann agus leis an ngruaim go tuisceanach nádúrtha. Sraith Teilifíse na Bliana: Corp + Anam (léiriú le MagaMedia) Tá carn duaiseanna bailithe ag an sraith-dhráma cumhachtach seo a thugann léargas géarchúiseach eile dúinn ar an saol in Éirinn mar atá, seachas mar ba mhaith linn é a bheith de réir mar a fheictear do thuairisceoir coiriúlachta teilifíse. Thuill an dara sraith an moladh céanna don script agus don chliar. Clár Teilifíse na Bliana: Katie (léiriú le Fócas Films) Clár faisnéise a léirigh scéal an-phearsanta mná óige agus a muintire agus iad i ngleic le dúshlán ollmhór leighis. Rugadh Katie Ní Allmhuráin as Cill Chiaráin leis an Siondróm Femur Fibula Ulna, rud a d’fhág gan iomlán a cuid géaga aici – ach níor chaill bean an mhisnigh ariamh é. Craoltóir Teilifíse na Bliana: Seán Mac a tSíthigh Is fada lucht féachana Nuacht TG4 faoi dhraíocht ag cumas scéalaíochta agus físiúlachta an fhir seo as Gaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne agus é i mbun tuairisceoireachta. Tá an t-aitheantas sin faighte aige cheana féin san Eoraip. Seo anois aige arís é óna mhuintir féin. Aisteoir na Bliana: Darach Ó Dubháin Bhí a thaispeántas sa ról mar phríomh-charachtar sa scéinséir An Bronntanas ar cheann de phríomh-bhuaiceanna na sraithe seo. Tá a cháil ag scaipeadh i bhfad is i ngearr ach b’sheo é i mbarr a mhaitheasa ar fhód a dhúchais. Thréaslaigh an tArdstiúrthóir, Pól Ó Gallchóir, a ngradaim leo ar fad agus leis na buaiteoirí ó na meáin Ghaeilge eile a fuair aitheantas ó Oireachtas na Gaeilge ag Duaisbhronnadh na nGradam seo.
