      100% he’s right. Sure look at covid. When people didn’t have anything but stay at home we turned to the arts, entertainment, music, books, craft, games. These are vital for our individual and collective health. Plus it’ll help spread joy and happiness in the world

      Fact all news is bad news. I stopped watching. Should be a good mix.

      Didn’t there _used_ to be? Or am I just experiencing a localised Mandela Effect & conflating some general entertainment / movie segments with a broad “arts” portion?

      Great idea though, even if I doubt anyone under a certain age bracket watches “the news” anymore. Its social media that’s the poison here, doomscrolling through endless waves of bad news and toxicity.

      Nationwide is a show that basically focuses exclusively on arts and culture which airs straight after the news..

      Brilliant idea. And while we’re at it, get rid of the feckin’ angelus nonsense as well.

      Totally agree. I’d also like to see more documentaries on stuff we are doing right- buildings or infrastructure projects that are built well and make a difference like the luas, the 2nd runway, the new fab at intel or the Celtic interconnector. In Victorian England names like Brunel and his ilk were national celebrities. I don’t see why we shouldn’t try to celebrate what we are trying to do and accomplish as a nation rather than the current national sport of pissing all over things when it’s not a job well done. Would just help change the tone a bit in my opinion.

      Just stick on TnaG for a bit of Geantraí or Snug cheol

      Given the amount of mundane crap RTÉ reports on post- the ad break, I can’t see why not

      I’d take anything that did mean RTÉ News filling every spare slot with repeats of interviews with actors. I don’t even mean Gleeson here, but that channel has an interview about a movie every half hour and I cannot understand why.

      It would be great if RTÉ really took this suggestion and had more arts, culture and music. 

      I loved @last TV (I’m old!), they showcased loads of weird, wonderful stuff, and lots of Irish animators. Saw a lot of comedians for the first time on there too. 

      We are a small island renowned for big impact on the films, music and film, RTÉ could make some really obvious moves here.

      I’d love if only president candidates were considered if they’d contributed to irish arts or literature. Its a token role, no need for business people to be running.

      Great idea. I’d start watching the 6 o’clock news again.
