Darren \u00d3 Dubhg\u00e1in<\/strong> from Gort an Choirce, in the parish of Chloich Cheann Fhaola, in the Donegal Gaeltacht has been working as a Social Media Co-ordinator with the stations children programme C\u00fala4 and he is now moving from working behind the scenes to front of camera. Darren attended Scoil Chnoc Na Naomh national school followed by Pobalscoil Chloich Cheann Fhaola. He studied in National University of Ireland, Galway during which he achieved a BA (Gaeilge and German) and MA (Professional Media Practice). On working with TG4 Darren says, \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable and I\u2019m really enjoying it! I never thought I\u2019d have the opportunity to work in my native language as a weather presenter on TG4.\u201d<\/em>
\n 
\nMore than anything else, Darren loves spending time with his family on Tory Island. There\u2019s nothing he enjoys more than going to Tory when he has the chance and to enjoy the music, the craic, the company and the beauty of the island.
\n 
\nDonncha \u00d3 Murch\u00fa<\/strong> from Kilmacud, in Dublin has joined TG4\u2019s weather team. He attended Col\u00e1iste Eoin before going to UCD to study Irish and history. Irish has very much been at the core of everything he has done since leaving school. He spent a couple of years teaching the language, before heading off to Montana, in the States, to promote Irish language and culture in the University of Montana, in the city of Missoula. When he came home, he took on the role of Social Media Coordinator with Molsc\u00e9al, in TG4.
\nOn starting his new role in TG4 Donncha says, \u201cI couldn’t have imagined myself doing this a year ago. It’s a great job and I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity.”<\/em>
\nDonncha has been involved with sports all his life especially hurling and cycling, and he loves filming and editing videos as often as he can, and Gaelainn Chorca Dhuibhne holds a special place in his heart!
\n 
\nAimsir TG4<\/strong> provides the Irish weather service through Irish. Three linear bulletins are broadcast each day and there are more on the station\u2019s website TG4.ie\/Aimsir<\/strong><\/a> as well as its own social media on Twitter @AimsirTG4<\/strong><\/a>. The weather service is provided by New Zealand based Metraweather, using the Weatherscape XT graphics system and supported by their Meteorology team. Every dialect can be heard on Aimsir TG4. The presenters also do the continuity for the station as well as the social media. TG4 presenters are the faces and voices of the station. Previous TG4 Weather Presenters such as D\u00e1ith\u00ed \u00d3 S\u00e9, S\u00edle Seoige, P\u00e1id\u00ed \u00d3 Lion\u00e1ird, Aoife N\u00ed Thuairisg and Ailbhe \u00d3 Monach\u00e1in continue to be familiar faces on our TV screens.<\/p>\n

 
\n <\/p>\n

Both presenters are available for interview.
