The Irish Language Broadcast Fund, BBC Gaeilge and TG4 are seeking ideas for Gealán – the feature length Irish language drama initiative.

The drama fund will initially support the development of two projects with one of those projects supported for production.

The aim of the scheme is to support and develop the Irish language drama sector in Northern Ireland, enabling the production of entertaining content with international appeal.

The feature would have a cinematic and/or festival release prior to broadcast on both TG4 and BBC Northern Ireland.

The development budget available is £22,500 per project.  For production funding, the amount available from the 3 funders will be £360,000.  Companies will also be entitled to apply for a UK tax credit which should bring the overall budget to approximately £450,000.

Deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 22^nd August 2025.
