New Reality TV Show in Irish / An G-Team

A NEW reality show has succeeded where the education system has failed — by getting tens of thousands of people to start using Irish on a daily basis. An G-Team, a 10-part series which launches on TG4 this weekend, is described as one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken in the station’s history, with one of its makers claiming it will make Irish sexy. More than 50,000 people have taken part in the filming of the show, which aims to get English-speaking communities to converse as Gaeilge on a daily basis. An G-Team has been almost a year in the making, from its earliest stages when more than 100 small towns and villages responded to ads to win a €40,000 Foras Na Gaeilge-sponsored prize by becoming the top Irish-speaking community outside the Gaeltacht. * An G-Team begins at 8pm on Sunday, January 15, on TG4.
