Highlights from the first day of broadcasting on RnaG on 2 April 1972.

Thosaigh RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta ag craoladh ar Dhomhnach Cásca, 2 Aibreán 1972.  Sa chlár seo inniu éistfidh muid le roinnt den ábhar a craoladh ar an gcéad lá sin, na tuairimí agus smaointe a bhí ag daoine faoin stáisiún nua, agus an tionchar a bheadh ag Raidió na Gaeltachta ar shaol na ndaoine.  Tabharfaidh sé uilig siar muid go dtí an bhliain 1972.   Is é Séamus Ó Scanláin a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.

RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta began broadcasting on 2 April 1972, which was Easter Sunday.  In this programme, Séamus Ó Scanláin will bring us some of the material broadcast on that first day, as well as interviews with the local community about the new station, what it meant for them, and what changes it would bring.
