Tribute to Máire Ní Thuathail
19 Sep 2016 :
Following a short illness, the death has taken place of Máire Ní Thuathail, Executive Producer of Ros na Rún and Managing Director of Eo Teiifís Teo.

Máire was born in Tourmakeady, Co Mayo and was a graduate of UCG. After spending some time working with Bord na Gaeilge and Coco Televison she formed Eo Teilifis in 1988. She produced a number of children’s programmes including Mire Mara. Kitty Crash and Mise agus Pangúr Bán.

Máire was instrumental in the Eoroform Training Initiative in 1995. This initiative was in conjunction with Údarás na Gaeltachta, RTÉ, FÁS, Teilfís na Gaeilge and Eo Teilifis. This course trained Production Managers PA’s, Vision Mixers, Camera Operators, Sound Operators and Editors.

With the formation of Teilifis na Geailge, Eo Teilifís and Tyrone Productions won the tender to produce TG4’s flagship soap Ros na Rún. With the series now in it 21st year, Máire served as Executive Producer of the series up to the time of her illness earlier this year. Her passion and commitment to the series and her absolute commitment to the training of young graduates in the TV sector provided a continuous supply of well trained staff right through from script writing, acting and production, many of whom have gone on to work in other leading drama series in the country and internationally.

She won numerous awards during her career, including the Young Business Woman of the Year in 1997 and an Irish Film and Television Award for Concerto Do Chaitlín Maude in 2005. She has served as Board Member of a number of organisations including Media Antenna, Screen Producers Ireland and Enterprise Ireland.
