This paper was researched as part of a broader project on the campaigns for Raidió na Gaeltachta and Teillfis na Gaeilge. In the course of this work, I conducted over thirty Interviews with members of each campaign. RTE: management. relevant politicians and Irish language activists both in the Republic and Northern Ireland. All lnterviewees were questioned on their views concerning Raidió na Gaeltachta. I also made substantial use of lnniú, Amarach, The Connaught Tribune, The Irish Times, Anois and Lá, and relevant Irish language and communications joumals.
