Alan Esslemont, Director General, TG4<\/strong> said: \u201cOn October 31st this year TG4 will celebrate our 25th birthday and can reflect with some satisfaction that our programmes have brought a genuine \u2018s\u00fail eile\u2019 to Irish broadcasting and that the station\u2019s brand has been instrumental in bringing about a change of image for the Irish language. I\u2019d especially like to thank and congratulate all of our partners working in the independent audiovisual industry, whose imagination and creativity have underpinned TG4\u2019s success over the last quarter century and whose latest work we are celebrating at our Autumn launch. <\/p>\n

However, when compared to the way Welsh is supported in Wales, the Irish state continues to display a clear lack of ambition for the Irish-speaking communities and for Irish language media. The present Public Service Media ecosystem in Ireland is monolithic. PSM in Ireland after the pandemic needs to be sustainable but it also needs more diversity and plurality. TG4\u2019s Post-Covid Vision document outlines how all the state-funded audiovisual agencies, RT\u00c9, TG4, Screen Ireland and BAI, can be supported in a fairer, more balanced way and drive a more diverse and less centralised public media ecosystem.\u201d <\/em>
