TG4 receives honour at Oireachtas na Gaeilge Media Awards 2016 The consistently high standard of TG4’s output across a wide range of output is reflected in the awards garnered by the channel at the 2016 Oireachtas na Gaeilge Media Awards, (Gradaim Ghaeilge an Oireachtais) presented in Galway over the weekend. Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D Higgins, whose role as Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was key in the establishment of the channel, was on hand to present the Awards. These are the premier Irish language media awards and are much coveted by industry professionals. As TG4 prepares to mark twenty years of broadcasting this year, the channel’s contribution was acknowledged with the supreme prize, the Lifetime Achievement Award. The station’s other winners range across the full span of output – documentary, entertainment and drama. This Award was accepted by the TG4 Ard-Stiúrthóir (Director General), Pól Ó Gallchóir. The full list of TG4 recipients at Oireachtas na Gaeilge 2016 Media Awards is: TG4 – Life-Time Achievement Award For the breadth, range, creativity and freshness of approach it has provided in its twenty years of broadcast, for its contribution to public service broadcasting and for the higher profile it is given the Irish language. EIPIC – Best TV Series (produced by Magamedia) An off-beat low-fi comedy musical drama series that follows the fortunes of 5 rural teenagers who take over their local abandoned post office in 2016 to start a musical revolution. It’s a bold story about escape, empowerment and what it means to be a teenage “hero” in contemporary rural Ireland – all set against the backdrop of the 1916 centenary celebrations. Deoch an Dorais – Best Film/TV Programme (produced by Magamedia) Documentary about Mike Malloy. He was an Irish emigrant from Donegal who fell on hard times in New York City in the early 1930s. Twenty attempts were made on his life. Now a Donegal hard man with a similar surname but of a different generation goes in search of the legend. Anthony Molloy journeys to the Bronx in search of the most durable Irish emigrant the city was ever to see. Síle Nic Chonaonaigh – Best Broadcaster (Dúiche series, produced by Open Eye) For her warm and engaging style as presenter of this roving weekly magazine that showcases stories that reveal the real and often hidden Ireland, a mixture of serious and informative stories as well the light-hearted. Interesting individuals, the communities they live in and the groups or causes they represent take centre stage. The topics and localities covered include rural isolation, communities training as first responders, inventions and entrepreneurial spirit. Snámh in Aghaidh Easa – Best Short film (produced by Meangadh Fíbín) A dramatic documentary that follows four Aran Islands fishing boats as they leave Ros an Mhíl port for the Shetland Islands in search of the elusive mackerel. When the four boats left home, they could not have predicted that only three of the vessels would return. Dramatic events on the 20th of January 2015 changed all that when the Iúda Naofa got into difficulty north of the Isle of Lewis and sank. Luckily, all the crew was winched to safety, as the dramatic footage illustrates. Stiofán Ó Fearail – Young Star of the Year The multi-talented Stiofán first came to prominence as lead-singer of the group Seo Linn. He is also a co-presenter (with Eibhlín Ní Chonghaile) of Cleas Act a new light entertainment show for TG4 which puts the funniest, most talkative and capable school kids on screen. www.tg4.ie – Best Website TG4’s popular and comprehensive site incorporates a Player service offering on-line access worldwide to the channel’s live and recent output as well as a wide range of supplementary information and support. It has recently undergone a full upgrade and make-over to enhance the user experience. Tara Breathnach – Best Actor Perhaps best-know for her long-running major role in TG4’s drama series, Ros na Rún her work was acknowledged in this Award for her role in the short film Maidhm, about an autistic boy’s search for his mother. Commenting on the channel’s Lifetime Achievement Award, TG4 Ard-Stiúrthóir Pól Ó Gallchóir says, “As TG4 finalises plans to mark our 20th Birthday next Halloween, this special supreme media award from Oireachtas na Gaeilge is particularly heartening for our own team and for our content creators in the independent production sector throughout Ireland. Following on directly from our recent prizes at IFTA, CIRCOM and the Celtic Media Festival, it is both a validation from our core audience, home and abroad, of the high quality of our programmes and an inspiration for the future.” The President’s speech and the Awards ceremony can be viewed here: More information: Linda Ní Ghríofa, TG4 091-505228, linda.ni.ghriofa@tg4.ie Get to know us - Twitter @TG4TV #TG4 - www.tg4.ie - www.facebook.com/TG4TV - www.flickr.com/photos/tg4

Chruthaigh saothar agus pearsana TG4 go hiontach ag Gradaim Chumarsáide an Oireachtais 2016 a bhronn Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D Ó hUigínn ag ócáid spleodrach in Óstán Bhóthar na Trá i nGaillimh. Aitheantas Speisialta agus Duaiseanna go leor ag TG4 ó Oireachtas na Gaeilge Chruthaigh saothar agus pearsana TG4 go hiontach ag Gradaim Chumarsáide an Oireachtais 2016 a bhronn Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D Ó hUigínn ag ócáid spleodrach in Óstán Bhóthar na Trá i nGaillimh. Is iad na duaiseanna seo príomh-ghradaim na meán Gaeilge agus tá a gcáil bunaithe agus ag neartú ó bhliain go bliain. Bhronn an tUachtarán Buaic-Ghradam an Oireachtais 2016 ar TG4 féin mar aitheantas ar a bhfuil bainte amach aige sna fiche bliain ó tháinig sé ar an aer. Thug an tUachtarán, fear a raibh dlúth-bhaint aige féin le bunú an stáisiúin agus é ina Aire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta, ard-mholadh do shaothar agus do chruthaitheacht an aschuir le fiche bliain, don tseirbhís phoibli a dhéanann sé don lucht féachana ar fud an domhain agus don tionchar dearfach atá imeartha aige ar dhearcadh an phobail i leith na Gaeilge. Is é an tArdstiúrthóir, Pól Ó Gallchóir, a ghlac an Gradam thar ceann TG4. Anuas ar an mbuaic sin, bhronn an tUachtarán Gradaim Chumarsáide ar chúig saothar agus pearsa eile le TG4. Seo thíos na saothair a fuair Gradaim le TG4 i mbliana, ina measc dhá Ghradam do shaothar an chomhlachta Magamedia: EIPIC – Sraith Teilifíse na Bliana (léirithe ag Magamedia) Sraithdhráma grinn, a insíonn scéal chúigear déagóirí a ghlacann seilbh ar an oifig poist áitiúil i 2016 chun réabhlóid cheoil a thosú. Scéal dána, daonna faoi éalú, faoi fhéiniúlacht agus faoi dhéagóirí faoin tuath in Éirinn an lae inniu é seo a thuill ardmholadh nuair a craoladh é in Earrach 2016, ag tús an chomóradh céid ar 1916. Deoch an Dorais – Scannán/Clár Teilifíse na Bliana (léirithe ag Magamedia) Clár faisnéise faoi Chonallach nárbh fhéidir a mharú – ainneoin 20 iarracht éagsúla. Seo é scéal Mike Malloy, imirceach go Nua Eabhrac céad bliain ó shin a ndeachaigh an saol ina aghaidh agus a bhí ag ól go trom i dtithe tábhairne sa Bronx i Nua-Eabhrac go dtí gur bheartaigh roinn dá chuid “cairde” é a mharú ar mhaithe le hairgead árachais saoil a thuilleadh. Síle Nic Chonaonaigh – Craoltóir Teilifíse na Bliana Is í Síle an láithreoird ar Dúiche, irischlár spreagúil eolasach TG4 ina mbíonn sí ag taisteal na tíre ar thóir scéalta agus imeachtaí a thugann léargas ar an saol sa bpobal ina bhfuil siad ag tarlú. Tráchtann sí ar cheisteanna casta timpeallachta nó sóisialta le dóchas agus le samhlaíocht. Snámh in aghaidh Easa – Gearrscannán na Bliana (Léirithe ag Meangadh Fíbín) Scéal faoi thimpiste farraige a ghin ceannlínte ar fud an domhain agus nuacht-phictiúir thar a bheith scanrúil ach inar tháinig gach duine slán. Rianann an clár an turas cinniúnach iascaireachta a rinne ceithre thrálaer as Inis Mór Árann in Earrach 2015 agus iad ar thuras iascaireachta ronnach. Is ar Inis Shealtain a bhí triall na mbád Éireannach don turas seo ach ar an 20 Eanáir, i bhfaiteadh na súl a tharla an tubaiste a chuir ceann de na soithigh, An Iúda Naofa go grinneall na farraige amach ó chósta Leódhais in Inse Gall na hAlban. www.tg4.ie – Suíomh Gréasáin na Bliana Tá éileamh ar fud an domhain agus meas ar an Suíomh seo, ar a bhfuil Seinnteoir TG4, cartlann sean-nóis agus eolas cuimsitheach tacaíochta faoin tseirbhís féin agus faoin ábhar a chuireann sí ar fáil. Rinneadh athchóiriú agus uasghrádú suntasach ar an Suíomh le gairid le feabhas breise a chur uirthi. Is é an Suíomh Gréasáin Gaeilge is mó éileamh ar domhan é. Tara Breathnach – Aisteoir na Bliana Tá aithne fhorleathan ar Tara ag lucht féachana as a ról sa sobaldhráma Ros na Rún agus bhí a ról mar mháthair sa ngearrscannán Maidhm luaite go sonrach leis an nGradam seo. Stiofán Ó Fearail – Réalta Óg na Bliana Cé gur mar phríomh-amhránaí leis an ngrúpa Seo Linn cáil ar dtús, thuill Stíofán a chéad-cháil, is fear óg ildánach é agus tá sin cruthaithe arís aige le cúpla mí anuas agus é ag comh-láithriú shraith úrnua siamsaíochta TG4 Cleas Act in éineacht le Eibhlín Ní Chonghaile, sraith ina gcuirtear na páistí is barrúla, is caintí agus is cumasaí sa tír i láthair agus iad i mbun siamsa agus ceoil Thréaslaigh an tArdstiúrthóir 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. Maidir le Buaic-Ghradam TG4, seo a bhí le rá aige: “Tá áthas an domhain orainn Buaic-Ghradam an Oireachtais a bheith bronnta orainn i mbliain stairiúil seo 2016. Agus muid ag cur bailchríoch ar na hullmhúcháin do cheiliúradh 20 Bliain ár mbunaithe i dtráth na Samhna, bhéarfaidh an t-aitheantas speisialta seo ó Oireachtas na Gaeilge spreagadh agus ugach breise dúinn.” Is féidir Óráid an Uachtaráin agus an Searmanas Bronnta Gradam a lean é a fheiceáil anseo: Breis eolais: Linda Ní Ghríofa, TG4 091-505228, linda.ni.ghriofa@tg4.ie Cuir aithne orainn - Twitter @TG4TV #TG4 - www.tg4.ie - www.facebook.com/TG4TV - www.flickr.com/photos/tg4
