A new Irish language news service, Nuacht 24, which aims to provide stories from throughout Northern Ireland launches online this week.
The new move will see the multimedia website go live with video news and feature reports updated daily. Content will focus on local, national and international current affairs, business and sport. Original video features, funded by the Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF), will also cover the arts, lifestyle and Irish language-related events and festivals.
Nuacht 24’s news anchor, Tomaí Ó Conghaile says of the move: “The number of people accessing news and visual content online continues to grow and now Nuacht24 will be able to serve the increasingly vibrant online Irish language community. Irish speakers and learners will be able to consume news and issues of interest to them in their own language, from anywhere and at anytime.”
The Nuacht24 team is comprised of Tomaí (Imeall Geal), Eoghan Ó Néill (Founding Editor of Lá and BBC Radio Ulster presenter) and Milene Fegan (Déan é).
