From the moment it appeared on the then Teilifis na Gaeilge in November, 1996, it has bucked trends, not least the trend of opinion among a mostly cynical, Dublin-centric media which held that the last thing television needed was another rural soap, as though rural Ireland was some vast, homogenous landmass.

We already had Glenroe: so who, outside of a select audience, would want to watch a television series about life in a small village in the Galway Gaeltacht, and an Irish-language one at that.

I can still taste that humble pie we all had to eat. Ros na Run, shown on Tuesdays and Thursdays with an omnibus edition on Sunday nights, now pulls in a regular audience of 300,000. Given that the marketplace is crawling with soaps it's a remarkable figure and one that suggests a significant portion of Ros na Run's viewers are less than fluent Irish speakers prepared to put up with subtitles

Ní fhaca mé Ros na Rún le fada an lá agus is beag mo spéis i sobalchláir. Ach comhghairdeas do lucht a dhéanta.

Ach fotheidil do lucht an Bhéarla? Nach mó de chríól atá ann seachas Gaeilge?

Dea-scéal ach cathain a bheidh sé ar fáil ar DVD nó físeán?
(Sin an rud gur mhaith liom a bheith ar eolas agam) :)

Conas a dearfá é seo?
(That's what I'd like to know)

Sin an teolas ba mhaith liom bheith agam, seans.

níos simplí

Sin í an cheist (atá ag dó na geirbe agam)

Maith an fear, taitníonn siad go mór liom.
