Yes. Lá Nua want to go online only - they are losing money. FnaG say that is a breach of contract, and they will stop funding if they do. |

...dar le Máirtín Ó Muilleoir: http://apublishersblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/imagination-and-resolve.html "To clarify matters: Lá Nua is no longer suggesting going internet edition only. The Foras stamped on that idea, the request remains however for £100k so that the paper can continue to print and publish as normal from now till year end." |

Tá gá le díospóireacht leaids. Má thugann an Foras an t-airgead, an fiú é? Ba spéisiúil a léamh san alt ag Slugger O'Toole mar gheall ar fhorlíonadh san Irish News trí ghaeilge. Nach gcuirfeadh sé sin leigheas éigin ar an drochsholáthar a bhí ag Lá Nua le fada an lá? Dála an scéil, ní ar Lá Nua atá an locht mar gheall ar drochsholáthar seachas muintir dáileacháin dar liom. Tá suíomh den scoth ag Lá Nua le www.nuacht.com agus súil agam nach gcaillfidh é. Ach filleadh ar ais ar an nuachtán mar a bhí, n'fheadar é. Ní léigheann ach céard 2,000 - 7,000 duine as cé mhéid Gaeilgeoirí in éirinn Lá Nua. Caithfidh sin a athrú. Caithfidh an nuachtán a athrú agus céimeanna móra atá ag teastáil len é sin a dhéanamh. A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Táim ag déanamh iontais nár éirigh sé orthu go raibh fadhb ann go dtí an uair go raibh idir céad míle agus céad míle go leith punt cailte acu... Cén saghas bainisteoireachta sin? Is mór an trua go bhfuil siad san fhaopach mar seo. |

Seans go bhfuil na huimhreacha in íseal mar atá toisc nach dtaitníonn le chuile Ghaeilgeoir beo an tsíorbhéim atá acu á cur ar pholaitíocht na teanga. Nuair a bhí mé ar cuairt in Éirinn anuraidh cheannóinn cóip Lá Nua beagnach chuile lá, ach ní léifinn a leath mar nach raibh mórán suim agam ann. Dá mbeadh cónaí orm ansin ní dóigh liom go mbeinn i mo shíntiúsóir acu ach oiread, murarbh é "ar son na cúise" amháin é - agus nach bhfuil bealaí níos fiúntaí ann le tacú leis an nGaeilge seachas nuachtán nach bhfeileann duit féin a cheannach? Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!

Abigail, Bhál tá Saol ann fá na rudaí deasa. Déanta na fírinne, is é namháid na Gaeilge a chur an tsíorbhéim ar 'pholaitíocht na teanga'. Is é Lá a sheasann sa Bearna Baoil ina gcoinne. In 'ideal world' ní bheadh ar Lá ag bheith ag cosaint na Gaeilge i dtólamh ach sin an tsaol ina bhfuil muid beo. |

"Saol"? Níor chuala mé riamh faoi... an nuachtán é, nó iris mhíosúil, nó céard atá ann? Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!

rud míosúil é, saor ón aisce. scéalta deasa amháin. Níl locht agam air ach nuair a bhaineann tú an pholaitíocht as paipeár sin a bíos ann. |

In Saol, ní bhíonn ann den chuid is mó ach scéalta faoi na deontais a bhfuarthas. Is féidir Lá Nua a fheabhsú, gan dabht, agus bíonn an iomarca ann faoi chogadh na Gaeilge (agus pholaitíocht Mheiriceánach). Ach bíonn mórán fiúntach ann freisin. Agus chun a bheith comhrom, cá háit eile a bhfaighfeá eolas faoin a bhfuil ar siúl maidir le polaitíocht na Gaeilge? |

A Shéamais, Tá an cogadh ar siúl agus tá an t-eolas tábhachtach mar chuid de chogadh ar bith. Is oth liom sin a rá ar shuíomh dírithe ar lucht foghlamhtha ach sin mar atá agus sin mar a bhéas sé go dtí (1) Tá an Ghaeilge slán sabháilte mar theanga bheo nó (2) Tá an Ghaeilge marbh mar theanga teaghlaidh is pobail ach a fhoghlaim mar dhara theanga cultúrtha naofa. Má chailltear Lá, ba é an dara cur síos an ceann is foirsteanaí maidir leis an chineál dearcadh a bheadh ag an Irish News mar shampla, an dream eile atá ag iarraidh an deontais sin, dream nach bhfuil ar son Acht Gaeilge ó thuaidh mar a tharlaíonn sé. Breast é mar sin a deirimse féin. |

Is soitheach é 'Lá' a bhí ag dul go grinneall ón gcéad lá a seoladh é mar nuachtán laethúil. Is é an fhírinne go bhfuil an lá imithe (agus is maith an rud é) nuair a bhí lucht na Gaeilge sásta glacadh le hearraí den dara (tríú, ceathrú ...) grád 'ar son na cúise'. Éilítear caighdeán den scoth anois, caighdeán atá chomh hard céanna leis na caighdeáin a éilíonn lucht labhartha an Bhéarla nó aon teanga eile. Dá mbeadh nuachtán laethúil i nGaeilge ann a bheadh inchurtha leis an 'Irish Times' cheannóinn é. Níl 'Lá' inchurtha leis an 'Irish Times'. Tá sé inchurtha, b'fhéidir, leis na 'nuachtáin' úd a scaiptear saor in aisce go luath ar maidin i mBaile Átha Cliath. Cé go bhfuil siadsan saor in aisce, ní bhacaim leo mar tá an saol i bhfad róghearr agus bíonn rudaí níos fiúntaí le léamh agam. Nuair a scríobhaim an méid thuas, nílim ag iarraidh foireann 'Lá' a mhaslú. Is léir nach bhfuil na hacmhainní acu chun nuachtán laethúil a chur amach a mbeadh na míreanna éagsúla ann a mbíonn daoine ag súil leo i nuachtán laethúil ar bith: cur síos ar nuacht na tíre agus an domhain le 24 uaire anuas go háirithe. Is é an rud is measa faoin scéal seo go raibh an méid sin soiléir ón tús agus gur cuireadh deireadh le nuachtán seachtainiúil a bhí go maith agus arbh fhiú é a léamh chun triail a bhaint as fiontar nach raibh i ndán dó ach teip. Tá súil agam nach bhfuil an iomarca dochair déanta do bhranda 'Lá' faoin am seo chun an 'sean-Lá' seachtainiúil a thabhairt ar ais. Tá 'Foinse' sásúil go leor, tríd is tríd, ach níor chóir go mbeadh lucht na Gaeilge ag brath ar aon nuachtán amháin. |

Tuigim do thuairim, agus is baolach go bhfuil an ceart agat. Ach is rud tábhachtach do theanga go bhfuil nuachtán laethúil ar fáil ann. Agus dá mbeadh suim go leor ag lucht na Gaeilge ann, bheadh siad in ann ábhar cuí a sholáthair dóibh, agus cabhair dhearfach. Is náireach an rud é go bhfuil cúpla milliún Euro ar fáil do leithéid focal.ie (rud fiúntach, ach milliún Euro?!) agus níl airgead go leor ar fáil do na foilsiúchán is tábhachtaí do lucht léite na Gaeilge. Is rud deacair é nuachtán laethúil ar ardchaighdeán a chur os comhair na ndaoine gach seachtain. Ach níl sé dodhéanta. Níl de dhíth ach an toil, agus faraor, roinnt airgid. |

http://keltalingvoj.blogspot.com/2008/02/fermos-l-nua.html Following the withdrawal of funding by Foras naGaeilge, the Belfast-based Irish-language daily tabloid, Lá Nua, is believed to be closing at the end of the month. Recently, Lá Nua announced its plans to cease their hardcopy paper and move to an online version. Lá Nua is 50% owned by Belfast Media Group and 50% by various Irish language groups and enthusiasts. Belfast Media Group, publishers of Lá Nua, said it could not absorb the losses from the print edition, which are running at about £8,000 (€10,714) per month... ********SÍNIGÍ AN ACHAINÍ!!!!******** |

Does this mean that I won't be able to buy newspapers in Irish in the Donegal Gaeltacht this summer now? Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.

http://keltalingvoj.blogspot.com/2008/02/reklama-politika-revizio.html ..ó Mháirtín Ó Muilleoir: …The Office of the First Minister has been reviewing advertising policy since November 2004 when I first wrote to the department challenging the policy at that time of giving the three big dailies every ad from every department without any tendering or value for money procedure… …[G]overnment ministers have been told they can't advertise in Lá Nua while the review is going on. It's been on the go now for three-four years. No doubt it could last another three years. And yet, the only newspaper to suffer, Lá Nua, published by the person who first blew the whistle on the cosy arrangement which pertained between government and the three big dailies. Things have now come to a head because due to the block on advertising, Lá Nua will close at the end of February — unless someone can break through this logjam. At least now, the block and its offical veneer of legality is being challenged by SF Minister Conor Murphy. In an interview with Raidió Fáilte today (the Irish language community radio also banned from receiving ads), he said he was tackling this issue "urgently". At last, someone is on the case. We await developments. |

http://tinyurl.com/265plx ...ó Aontas Náisiúnta na nIriseoirí: Foras na Gaeilge the body responsible for the promotion of the Irish language on the island of Ireland has assured the National Union of Journalists that there is no threat to the current funding of the daily Irish language newspaper Lá Nua. The assurance has been welcomed by Séamus Dooley, the Irish Secretary of the NUJ, but the union remains concerned about the long-term survival of the newspaper. Meanwhile Foras na Gaeilge has contested claims that funding has been under threat... …Reacting to this clarification Séamus Dooley said: “There remains serious issues about the long-term viability of Lá Nua. The NUJ will be seeking clarification from the publishers of Lá Nua about their plans. While Foras na Gaeilge has clarified the contractual position regarding short-term funding there are clearly long-term issues which need to be addressed. “Our primary concern is the preservation of employment and the long-term future of the only daily Irish language newspaper on the island of Ireland. While it is appreciated that Foras na Gaeilge funding for the current year is not under threat a more long-term approach to the funding structure of Lá Nua is clearly needed.” |

Ní h-ea! Is cosúil nach bhfuil go leor san deontas reatha ón Fhoras le nuachtáin páipéar a choimead ar siúl. B'shin an fáth go rabhadar chun leagan idirlíon amháin a fhoilsiú ach ní raibh an Foras sásta leanúint leis an deontas mar dár leo "níl sé sa conradh!"

http://tinyurl.com/yq279e ...ó Mháirtín Ó Muilleoir: In Dublin yesterday for a very useful meeting of Lá Nua shareholders — 100 Irish language groups own shares in the not-for-profit company which runs Lá Nua and the unanimous opinion around the table was that this paper must not close. How to do that is the challenge facing the shareholders (which include this newspaper group) and Foras na Gaeilge but I'm confident that with a move by government in the North to lift its ban on advertising in Irish (and by continuing to work closely with Foras) a breakthrough can be made before our 29 February deadline. |

DEASCÉAL!!!!! http://keltalingvoj.blogspot.com/2008/02/l-nua-sekura.html ...ó Mháirtín Ó Muilleoir: Irish Language daily newspaper Lá Nua announces new plan to secure its future. With fresh investment from shareholders, support of Irish language organisations and measures to both cut costs and drive revenues, Lá Nua, which was to close on 1 March, will be able to see out its current contract period (end Dec 08) and build for the future. Publisher Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said: “We have bowled over by the support of the Irish language community, including the 3,000-plus people who signed a petition of support, and have been heartened by intervention of Irish language groups, politicians and organisations who have come together with shareholders to ensure Lá Nua can continue and prosper. The reiteration by Foras na Gaeilge of the importance of the printed media in Irish in its discussions with the Northern Government departments has been particularly helpful in our battle to ensure these departments advertise in the Irish language media... |
