The Kerryman (North Kerry)

An Saol ó Dheas broadcasts live from Dingle for RnaG’s Christmas schedule

- By TADHG EVANS

THERE will be Kerry fare aplenty on RTÉ’s Raidió na Gaeltachta this festive season it would seem, with a range of offerings from Killarney, Dingle, and the wider Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht region.

The first of these broadcasts will be provided by the station’s Munster magazine show ‘An Saol ó Dheas’, which will broadcast live from O’Flaherty’s in Dingle this Friday, December 21.

Helen Ní Shé and her team will start their broadcast after midday and have invited the locality in for an afternoon of music, song, and dance, with a range of prizes up for grabs as well.

There will also be a recap of the most Irish festival of them all, Oireachtas na Samhna, which was held in Killarney once again this autumn.

If one fancies the idea of the sounds of traditiona­l music, song, dance, drama, and more filling their homes on Christmas Day, then tuning in from 3pm on the most wonderful day of the year would seem a good move.

As well as this, there’ll be a second chance to tune in to episodes from the Dara Ó Cinnéide-presented Filí Chorca Dhuibhne series over the Christmas period, with broadcasts on December 28 and New Years’ Eve.

Other treats include a special edition of Malairt Poirt le Muireann at 7pm on December 29, as well as Treasa Bhreathnac­h’s documentar­y on the stories of the transgende­r community, airing at 5pm on Thursday, January 3.

A full list of festive programmin­g and times is available at www.rte.ie/rnag.
