As part of their 2016 coverage RTÉ2 is looking to commission a one off documentary (1x50') on What It Means To Be Irish (working title).

This should not be a historical perspective on changing Ireland, but rather a document on contemporary Ireland in 2016 and What It Means To Be Irish today.

RTÉ2 have stated that they are looking for “brave, compelling stories, great cast, talkability and gripping content” which resonates strongly with their target audience of 15 – 34 and those who think young.

They have also announced that the budget made available for the documentary will be a maximum of €90,000.

The closing date for submissions is Thursday 23 July 2015 (5pm, Strict Deadline).

RTÉ2 ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system under the programme category "Regional - RTÉ 2 - 2016".
