Beidh an clár á chraoladh ar maidin inniu beo ó GMIT i nGaillimh, mar a bhí, atá anois mar chuid d’Ollscoil Teicneolaíochta an Atlantaigh.  Tá siad ag ceiliúradh caoga bliain ar an bhfód i mbliana, agus cothrom an ama seo, 18 Meán Fómhair 1972, a thosaigh na chéad mic léinn i mbun staidéir ann.  Tá clár leathan imeachtaí á reáchtáil acu i mbliana don cheiliúradh agus cloisfidh muid faoi na pleananna sin agus neart eile ar an gclár inniu.  Is í Treasa Bhreathnach a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.

The programme will be broadcast live from what was formerly GMIT in Galway today, now part of the Atlantic Technological University.  They are celebrating fifty years this year, and around this time, on 18 September 1972, the first cohort of students commenced their studies there.  A programme of events is planned to celebrate this milestone, and we’ll hear all about that and more on the programme today and more.  Treasa Bhreathnach presents.
