    One offering likely to generate plenty of discussion is the five-episode series Grá ar an Trá, which is essentially the Gaeilgeoir answer to Love Island. The show pairs up ten singletons in couples where one partner has fluent Irish and the other has just a cúpla focal.

    The format of the show will be different to Love Island. There is no public vote, instead, cinnire Gráinne Seoige will decide which couples stay and which couples go based on how much progress they’re making with their cuid Gaeilge. 

    Speaking to The Journal, co-host James Kavanagh said: “I watch Love Island, I always think it’s a bit put-on, the emotions and the jealousy. On Grá ar an Trá, two days in, the contestants were bawling. They’re not actresses or actors, they’re real, normal Irish people.”

    “The show is 30% as Gaeilge and will be subtitled so everyone can understand it. It’s just to encourage people. Sometimes there’s snobbery around languages if you don’t speak them flawlessly but this is all about revitalising it.” The winning couple will walk away with €10,000 in cash.

    Looks to be starting soon on VM1
