Weather switch-up (Láithreoirí aimsire ag babhtáil) for Seachtain na Gaeilge on RTÉ #weatherswap
Weather presenters from RTÉ and TG4 are swapping roles to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge today (Tuesday 10 March).
RTÉ Weather’s Helen Curran is in Connemara to take the helm of Aimsir@TG4, while Caitlín Nic Aoidhh has travelled to Dublin to front RTÉ Weather bulletins today.
The weather presenters crossed paths in Galway yesterday to exchange weather stories and advice.
Helen Curran said: “Everyone in TG4 has been really kind and really welcoming as I as I try and remember all the Irish I learnt in school. But the strangest part of doing Aimsir is that they stand on the other side of the screen. Instead of using my left hand to point, I need to use my right hand. It’s like driving on the other side of the road!”
Caitlín Nic Aoidh added: “Irish people up and down the country are interested in weather. Like sport, chat of the rain, wind and snow unites people. I’m delighted to be involved in #weatherswap and this fun project for Seachtain na Gaeilge. I might be in a different studio today but it’s the same story with our Irish weather!”
Viewers will see TG4’s Caitlín Nic Aoidh present RTÉ Weather bulletins on RTÉ One as Gaeilge at 11.40am and during the Today Show at 5.25pm with a bilingual report after the One O’Clock news. And on TG4 Helen Curran will present Aimsir@TG4 at 5.32.pm and 6.57pm as Gaeilge.
Both weather presenters will join Maura and Dáithí on the Today Show at 5pm. #weatherswap
Láithreoirí aimsire ag babhtáil do Sheachtain na Gaeilge ar RTÉ
#weatherswap
Tá láithreoirí aimsire ó RTÉ agus ó TG4 ag babhtáil chun Seachtain na Gaeilge a cheiliúradh inniu (Dé Máirt an 10 Márta).
Tá láithreoir aimsire RTÉ Helen Curran i gConamara chun Aimsir@TG4 a chur i láthair agus tá a haghaidh tugtha ag Caitlín Nic Aoidh ar Bhaile Átha Cliath chun míreanna RTÉ Weather a chur i láthair inniu.
Chas na láithreoirí aimsire ar a chéile i nGaillimh inné chun scéalta aimsire agus comhairle a roinnt.
Dúirt Helen Curran: “Bhí gach duine i TG4 an-deas liom agus chuir siad an-fháilte romham agus mé ag iarraidh slacht a chur ar mo chuid Gaeilge. Is é an rud is aistí faoi bheith ag cur Aimsir TG4 i láthair ná go mbíonn siadsan ag seasamh ar an taobh eile den scáileán. Dá bhrí sin caithfidh mé a bheith ag taispeáint nithe le mo lámh dheas anois seachas le mo lámh chlé. Tá sé ar nós a bheith ag tiomáint ar an taobh eile den bhóthar!”
Is éard a dúirt Caitlín Nic Aoidh: “Tá spéis ag daoine fud fad na tíre seo san aimsir. Mar an gcéanna leis an spórt, tugann caint ar an fhearthainn, ar an ghaoth agus ar an sneachta daoine le chéile. Tá an-áthas orm a bheith páirteach sa #weatherswap agus sa togra spraíúil seo do Sheachtain na Gaeilge.”
Beidh an lucht féachana ábalta Caitlín Nic Aoidh TG4 a fheiceáil i mbun míreanna aimsire RTÉ Weather i nGaeilge ar RTÉ One ag 11.40am agus le linn an Today Show ag 5.00pm agus cuirfidh sí tuairisc dhátheangach i láthair tar éis nuacht One O’Clock. Cuirfidh Helen Curran Aimsir@TG4 i láthair i nGaeilge ar TG4 ag 5.32pm agus ag 6.57pm.
Beidh an bheirt láithreoirí aimsire i dteannta Maura agus Dháithí ar an gclár The Today Show ag a 5pm.
