Tá iarratais á lorg againn faoi láthair ó chomhlachtaí léiriúcháin do shraith (5 x 24'30") spleodrach nua faisnéise nó stíle maireachtála i nGaeilge le craoladh i rith na mbuaicthráthanna craolta oícheanta na seachtaine i rith Fhómhar 2023 idir 7 agus 9pm.

Táthar ag lorg smaointe do chláracha faisnéise i nGaeilge de chineál stíleanna maireachtála nó faireacháin nó smaointe do chláracha Fíorasacha atá oiriúnach le craoladh roimh an tairseach: carachtair thréana iléagsúla a bhfuil scéalta laidre le haithris acu agus iad inniúil ar a n-insint as Gaeilge.  Ar na samplaí le tamall anuas de na cineálacha scéalaíochta atá á lorg againn tá an fhormáid fhíorasach-siamsaíochta Réaltaí na Gaeltachta a tharraing lucht féachana mór ag féachaint ar chúigear pearsantachtaí iomráiteacha de chuid na hÉireann agus iad ag filleadh ar an nGaeltacht ag foghlaim Gaeilge; Saol na Feirme, sraith dea-shaothraithe de chláracha faisnéise faireacháin a rinneadh scannánaíocht ar 11 feirm ar feadh aon bhliain feirmeoireachta amháin agus a thug léargas ar na dúshláin agus na deiseanna a chuirtear roimh fheirmeoirí na hÉireann sa 21ú céad agus Droichid na hÉireann, an tsraith de chláracha fíorasacha inar thug an láithreoir Lochlainn Ó Mearáin an lucht féachana ar thuras go bhfeictear seoda ceilte i measc dhroichid na hÉireann agus go gcíortar na scéalta daonna agus an stair shóisialta a ghabhann le gach ceann acu.

Cén smaoineamh atá agat do shraith Ghaeilge a thabharfaidh ardú meanman do dhaoine is féidir a léiriú i rith an tsamhraidh agus go mbeidh lucht féachana RTÉ One agus an RTÉ PLAYER i rith oícheanta dorcha geimhridh na bliana seo? Is breá linn carachtair thréana (daoine cáiliúla nó daoine gan iomrá) a bhfuil Gaeilge álainn acu agus iad in ann an lucht féachana a thabhairt ar aistear iontach: timpeall na hÉireann/an domhain, aistear tábhachtach pearsanta an duine, ceisteanna móra na linne seo nó ábhar staire agus an stair shóisialta.

Íocfaidh RTÉ suas le huasmhéid €210,000 ar an tsraith, agus fáiltítear freisin roimh iarratais ar féidir maoiniú breise agus cuspóirí breise a cheangal leo.

Glactar leis na smaointe go léir de réir mar a chuirtear faoi bhráid iad.  Ba cheart aighneachtaí faoi chláracha don tráth craolta seo a chur isteach in am tráth ionas gur féidir cinneadh coimisiúnaithe a dhéanamh faoi dheireadh mhí Bealtaine 2023. Meastar gur i rith an tsamhraidh 2023 a dhéanfaí a léiriú d’fonn a shláthar do RTÉ i dtús mhí Dheireadh Fómhair 2023.

2023 agus ina dhiaidh sin.   

Dé Luain, 8pm, RTÉ One 4-6 x 24’30”nóim. 

Is é 8pm Dé Luain ar RTÉ One an príomham craolta anois do shraitheanna Gaeilge. Is am craolta é seo a mbíonn go leor iomaíochta i gceist leis ó shobalchláracha agus cainéil eile.  Ach tá lucht féachana mór ann freisin de dhaoine a sheachnaíonn sobalchláir agus atá ag lorg scéalta maithe, atá inste go maith, oíche Dé Luain ag 8pm.  

I measc na sraitheanna Gaeilge a raibh tóir orthu ag am craolta ar an Luan (ag 7.30pm a chraoltaí iad roimhe seo) áirítear Ar an Sliabh, sraith faisnéise bhreathnaitheach a raibh sé de chuspóir léi scéalta daoine atá ina gcónaí agus ag obair i gceantair shléibhe na hÉireann a léiriú, ach scéal na dianghlasála a léiriú freisin; ba chuntas taistil a bhí in Droichid na hÉireann a bhí taifeadta go hálainn ina bhfuair Lochlann Ó Mearáin amach faoin stair cheilte a bhaineann le roinnt de na droichid is mó aitheantais in Éireann; agus i Saol an Tréidlia tugadh spléachadh ar shaol agus ar obair roinnt tréidlianna a bhfuil Gaeilge acu chun deis a thabhairt don lucht féachana an méid a bhíonn ag tarlú i gcleachtais mhóra agus bheaga ainmhithe ar fud na hÉireann a fheiceáil.  

Chuirfimis fáilte go háirithe roimh smaointe do shraitheanna fíorasacha go bhfuil formáid de bheagán ag baint leo don am craolta seo; sraitheanna breathnaitheacha nó fíorasacha-siamsaíochta; sraitheanna stíle maireachtála i nGaeilge atá dírithe ar ábhair amhail airgead, sláinte, baile agus gairdín, tuismitheoireacht srl.; agus ar deireadh smaointe le haghaidh sraitheanna a fhiosraíonn, i bhformáidí nuálacha agus samhlaíocha, (an) oidhreacht, cultúr, tírdhreach agus stair atá againn. 

Ba chóir scéalta agus pearsantachtaí láidre a bheith i gcroílár tograí do shraitheanna san am craolta seo, go mbeadh tarraingt leathan lucht féachana acu agus go bhfeileann sé iad a léiriú ar fad nó den chuid is mó i nGaeilge. Ba chóir dóibh a bheith ina rogha malartach an-mhaith agus mealltach ar na sobaldrámaí a bheidh á gcraoladh ar chainéil eile agus a bheith ina rogha eile siamsaíochta do dhaoine atá ag lorg ábhair nach ábhar drámaíochta é an tráth sin den tráthnóna.

7pm Dé Máirt/Déardaoin, RTÉ One:   

Go traidisiúnta, bíonn lucht féachana mór ag aonad na gClár Gaeilge RTÉ ag 7pm Dé Máirt/Déardaoin ar RTÉ One. Is am craolta mór é seo díreach i ndiaidh an Six One News, agus bítear ag súil le hardchaighdeán i dtaobh luachanna léirithe agus sciar den lucht féachana. Baineann sraitheanna intí amhail Scannal agus Cloch le Carn sciar mór den lucht féachana amach go rialta sna hamanna craolta sin: is sraitheanna snasta, ard-léirithe iad seo a mbíonn scéalta nó pearsantachtaí a bhfuil aithne mhór orthu ina gcroílár; brandaí láidre a fhilleann arís eile de bharr go bhfuil lucht féachana dílis carntha acu i gcaitheamh na mblianta.  

Ba mhaith linn líon níos mó de shraitheanna coimisiúnaithe Gaeilge a chraoladh sna hamanna craolta sin ón mbliain 2023 ar aghaidh agus táimid ag lorg smaointe a sheasann amach do shraitheanna a choinneoidh lucht féachana an Six One News ag féachaint ar RTÉ One. Cuirfimid fáilte roimh smaointe do shraitheanna áille físiúla a chuirfidh fonn spaisteoireachta orainn ar fud na hÉireann; sraitheanna ina rachaidh daoine aitheanta a bhfuil Gaeilge acu ar thurais mhóra; agus sraitheanna dea-dhéanta agus bunaidh stíl mhaireachtála a thugann léargas ar an Zeitgeist.  

Agus rátaí boilscithe agus praghasanna fuinnimh de thíor ag ardú, d’fhéadfaí mar shampla clár a dhéanamh a bheadh dírithe ar shaol níos inbhuanaithe a chaitheamh; céard a d’fhéadfaimis a dhéanamh i dtaobh stíl mhaireachtála inbhuanaithe a bheith againn nó daoine ag teacht le chéile chun go seasfaidh a gcuid árais chónaithe agus pobail an aimsir? Chuirfimis fáilte roimh smaointe do shraitheanna faisnéise nó fíorasacha/stíl mhaireachtála formáidithe a thugann léargas ar an nós seo atá go mór i mbeal an phobail faoi láthair, agus a léireoidh, le pearsantachtaí agus scéalta thar a bheith spéisiúil, téamaí amhail inbhuanaitheacht, an timpeallacht, an gairdín, an fheirm agus an pobal.  

Bíonn an-tóir ag an lucht féachana sin ar ábhar staire/stair áitiúil, an timpeallacht thógtha agus nádúrtha agus ar an tírdhreach agus stair nádúrtha den scoth atá againn. Bhí An tSlí ar cheann de na léiriúcháin Ghaeilge intí a raibh an-rath air. Sraith dhá chlár a bhí taifeadta go hálainn a bhí inti agus inar lean Mary Kennedy seanslí an Ghorta, ag casadh le hionadaithe pobail áitiúil, ealaíontóirí agus staraithe agus saineolaithe seanchais áitiúil chun roinnt de scéalta an Ghorta nár insíodh riamh cheana a nochtadh. An bhfuil aon aistir iontacha staire nó stair nádúrtha a bhféadfadh daoine mór le rá a bhfuil Gaeilge acu muid a thabhairt orthu   

Is réimse eile é ceardaíocht agus dearadh ar mhaith linn é a fhiosrú. Chuir an dianghlasáil agus an Breatimeacht ag cuimhneamh muid ar earraí áitiúla a cheannach arís; agus tá an ghéarchéim aeráide ag cur béim arís ar earraí agus nithe a tháirgtear go háitiúil. An bhfuil smaoineamh ann do shraith Ghaeilge a dhéanfaidh ceiliúradh ar lucht déantúsaíochta agus táirgeachta áitiúil agus ar an obair a dhéanann siad?  

Meallfaidh pearsantachtaí móra, tarraingteacha agus inchreidte a bhfuil saineolas ceart acu nó a bhfuil go leor le rá acu lucht féachana buaicama. Cé a bheadh ábalta sraith le smaointe móra a chur i láthair i nGaeilge agus lucht féachana nua a mhealladh le bheith ag féachaint ar chláracha Gaeilge RTÉ?

RTÉ Cláracha Gaeilge currently seeks submissions from production companies for a 1 x 50' documentary or entertainment programme as Gaeilge to play in a peak-time slot (6.30 - 7.30pm) on RTÉ One between Christmas and New Year 2023.

We seek ideas for a landmark feelgood one-off documentary, or a beautiful entertainment/music show that celebrates the best of Irish culture, to play to a general audience over Christmas. This is a big slot, with a large intergenerational audience looking for great stories, inspiration and escape. If you have an idea for a story or event that can be told through Irish and you feel would captivate a national audience over the Christmas period, we would love to hear it.

We will contribute up to a maximum of €110,000 to the budget and also welcome ideas that have potential to bring additional funding to the table.

All ideas are accepted on a rolling basis.  Programme submissions to fill this slot should be with us in good time to facilitate a commissioning decision by end May 2023.  Production is anticipated in summer / early autumn 2023 for delivery to RTÉ by 04th December 2023.

We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: Login | RTE (rtegroup.ie) under the programme category "Cláracha Gaeilge “Christmas 2023”

We currently seek submissions from production companies for an exciting new 5 x 24'30" documentary or lifestyle series as Gaeilge to play in peak weeknight slots in Autumn 2023 between 7 and 9pm.

We are looking for popular Irish-language lifestyle/obdoc or Factual ideas suitable for TX in pre watershed slot: strong, diverse characters with big stories to tell who can tell them as Gaeilge. Recent examples which encapsulate the types of storytelling we look for include the high-rating factual-entertainment format Réaltaí na Gaeltachta where 5 well-known Irish personalities went back to the Gaeltacht to learn Irish; Saol na Feirme, a beautifully-crafted obdoc series filmed on 11 farms over one farming year which gave a real insight into the challenges and opportunities facing Irish farmers in the 21^st century and factual series Droichid na hÉireann in which presenter Lochlainn Ó Mearáin took audiences on a tour of Ireland's hidden-gem bridges, delving into the human stories and social history behind each one.

What idea do you have for a feelgood Irish-language series that can be made over the summer and will make viewers switch on to RTÉ One or seek out your series on RTÉ Player on dark winter nights later this year? We love big characters (famous and not-at-all famous) with beautiful Irish who can take viewers on remarkable journeys: around Ireland/the world, big universal personal journeys, contemporary issues or history and social history.

RTÉ will pay up to a maximum of €210,000 for the series, and also welcomes submissions that can bring additional funding and ambition to the table.

All ideas are accepted on a rolling basis. Programme submissions to fill this slot should be with us in good time to facilitate a commissioning decision by late May 2023.  Production is anticipated in summer 2023 for delivery to RTÉ in early October 2023.

We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: Login | RTE (rtegroup.ie) under the programme category "Cláracha Gaeilge – WEEKNIGHTS 7-9 PM

2023 and beyond:

 Monday, 8pm, RTÉ One: 4-6 x 24’30”min.

The main slot for Irish-language series is now Monday, 8pm on RTÉ One. It’s a slot with stiff competition from soaps on other channels. But there is a considerable audience of soap avoiders who are looking for good stories, well-told, on a Monday night at 8pm.

Irish-language series which have performed well in Monday slot (previously 7.30pm) include Ar an Sliabh, an observational documentary series which set out to capture the stories of people living and working in Ireland’s mountainy uplands, but which also captured the story of the lockdown; Droichid na hÉireann a beautifully-filmed travelogue in which Lochlann Ó Mearáin uncovered the hidden histories behind some of Ireland’s most iconic bridges; and Saol an Treidlia which followed the lives and work of a number of Irish-speaking vets, bringing audiences behind the scenes at large and small animal practises across Ireland.

We would particularly welcome ideas for lightly-formatted factual series for this slot: observational or fact-ent series; also lifestyle series in Irish which deal with subjects like money, health, home and garden, parenting etc.; and finally ideas for series which explore in innovative and imaginative formats our heritage, culture, landscapes and history.

Proposals for series for this slot should have strong stories and characters at their core, have broad audience appeal and lend themselves to being produced either fully in Irish or mostly in Irish. They should offer a compelling and attractive alternative to soaps on other channels and an entertaining alternative to those seeking content that is not TV drama at this hour.

We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: Login | RTE (rtegroup.ie) under the programme category “Cláracha Gaeilge - Mondays”, before the above closing date and time.

 

**Please note:

The discussion of, or initial interest in, a proposal does not represent a commitment to commission by RTÉ and should not be understood as such.

 Commissioning decisions will reflect the quality of proposals received and the scheduling priorities operating at the time. RTÉ's financial position will also be a factor.

 Proposals should clearly detail finance plans, identifying all funding parties plus any amounts committed.

 

Tuesdays/Thursdays, 7pm, RTÉ One

Traditionally RTÉ’s in-house Irish-language programmes play to large audiences on Tuesdays/Thursdays at 7pm on RTÉ One. Coming straight after the Six One News, this is a prominent slot, with high expectations in terms of production values and audience share. In-house series like Scannal and Cloch le Carn regularly achieve high audience share in these slots: these are polished, highly-produced series with well-known stories or personalities at their heart; strong returning brands which, because they deliver consistently in terms of content, have built up audience loyalty over the years.

We would like to play a greater number of commissioned Irish-language series in these slots from 2023 and beyond and are looking for standout ideas for series that will keep the Six One audience tuned in to RTÉ One. We welcome ideas for visually stunning series that get us out and about around Ireland; series where familiar faces le Gaeilge go on big journeys; and well-crafted and original lifestyle series which reflect the zeitgeist.

For example, with inflation and energy prices rising and more focus on sustainable living, what could we do in the space of sustainable lifestyles and people coming together to future-proof their homes and communities? We would welcome ideas for documentary or formatted factual/lifestyle series which reflect this growing trend and reflect, via compelling characters and narratives, themes like sustainability, the environment, the garden, the farm, the community.

History/local history, the built and natural environment and our magnificent landscape and natural history are also a big draw for this audience. One of the most successful recent in-house Irish-language productions to play in this slot was An tSlí, a beautifully-filmed two-part series in which Mary Kennedy followed an old Famine way, meeting local community representatives, artists and local historians and folklore experts to uncover some of the untold stories of the Famine. Are there other epic historical or natural history journeys that well-loved public figures le Gaeilge could take us on?

Craft and design is another area we’d like to explore. The lockdown and Brexit made us begin to think and buy locally again; and the climate crisis is bringing locally-produced goods and items back into focus. Is there an idea for an Irish-language series that celebrates our local makers and producers and their work?

Big, likeable or credible personalities with genuine expertise or big things to say will always draw a peak-time audience. Who can front big-idea series as Gaeilge and draw new audiences to Irish-language programming?

We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: Login | RTE (rtegroup.ie) under the programme category “Cláracha Gaeilge Tuesdays/Thursdays”, before the above closing date and time.
