Q

í gcomharba

A

scaipeadh an leagan úr mar fhorlíonadh san Irish Independent agus é dírithe go príomha ar lucht foghlamtha na Gaeilge. Tháinig casadh eile ar an scéal nuair a chur an Irish Independent tús le nuachtán nua Gaeilge, Seachtain, ag deireadh Mhí Mheán Fómhair le foireann eagarthóireachta agus iriseoireachta nua le teacht i gcomharba ar Foinse.
when Foras na Gaeilge discontinued funding in 2009, the paper was remodelled and remarketed as a supplement in the Irish Independent aimed specifically at Irish language learners. Another twist in the tale came when the Irish Independent unexpectedly launched a successor to Foinse, Seachtain, a new supplement with a different team of editors and journalists.

Tá ráite i gcló beag na scéime nach mór d’iarratasóirí gabhálacha scáileáin / leagan amach samplach a chur ar fáil in éineacht leis an iarratas. Seans go dtugann seo an-bhuntáiste do dhreamanna atá ar an bhfód cheana féin agus a bhfuil na córais deartha ar fáil dóibh cheana féin.
The small print of the scheme requires applicants to include screen grabs or mock-ups of the paper, which at first glance would appear to give an advantage to those already up and running who would therefore have access to the design tools required.
