14 Jun 2017 : Katie McNeice
The 2017 Oireachtas na Samhna festival will take place in Killarney, Co. Kerry, from November 1st-5th, with additions to the regular TG4 live broadcast schedule.

‘Lár Stáitse’, a new programme for young audiences will feature the traditional oral arts as Gaeilge, spotlighting the agallamh beirte (dialogue in verse) from the oral tradition. This will broadcast live on Friday, November 3rd from 20:00-21:00, with further live broadcasts from Nuacht TG4 scheduled for three consecutive evenings from Wednesday, and the sean-nós dancing finals on Saturday.

The Agallamh Beirte final in the 12-15 competition age-group will also be broadcast live and the programme will include winning performances from other junior competitions.

Liam Ó Maolaodha, National Director of An tOireachtas”
“The partnership with TG4 has enabled us to present performances and events from Oireachtas na Samhna to audiences far beyond the conventional reach of the festival, and we welcome the increased focus on the participation of young people. The traditional oral arts constitute an intrinsic part of the Irish culture, language and heritage and also serve as an important vehicle to demonstrate the linguistic richness of the Irish language.”

Alan Esslemont, Ardstiúrthóir TG4
“This is a very welcome addition to our channel’s already extensive coverage of Oireachtas na Gaeilge. The talent, energy and vibrancy that is evident in all the young peoples’ competitions at the Oireachtas every year is wonderful to experience,” he added “ and we are delighted to be able to bring that to the screen in our TV and on-line coverage which will available worldwide.”
