Six writers have been chosen for SÍOL – a new initiative aimed to assist budding writers for Irish Language TV Drama writing.
After a nationwide search the chosen projects are;
Fionn Ní Eidhin – Cinneadh
Louise Ní Fhainnachta – Crochta
Medh Johnstone – Ab inito
Clíona Ní Riuseil – Náire
Kevin Lavelle and Diarmuid Goggins – Papa Joe

SÍOL is supported by Údaras na Gaeltachta, The Broadcast Commission of Ireland (BCI), Gréseán na Meán and TG4
The initiative will assist the chosen Irish language writers to develop and produce a television script that will be broadcast as part of a major drama series on TG4. The writers will develop their projects under the direction of series script editor Paul Mercier (Aifric, Studs). The development will take place during writing classes at the end of November. Their series will broadcast on TG4 for the Autumn/Winter Schedule 2009.
