Séamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, said: “Raidió na Gaeltachta is a jewel in the crown of RTÉ, and it is appropriate that in the centenary of Irish radio we can finally ensure a fairer structure for RnaG journalists.”

That day in August 1984 was the one day in all my years covering The Troubles when I felt I might get killed. The appearance of banned US Noraid leader Martin Galvin on the platform resulted in the RUC surging forward to break down the gate leading into Connolly House. I feared I was going to get crushed by the Land Rovers. @vincekearney @GerardC76874743
