Breandán Delap’s book Ar an Taifead: Fís, Fuaim, Focal (Cois Life, €20) looks at another aspect of language use: that of the media. Delap, a senior journalist with Nuacht TG4 and an occasional contributor to this paper’s Irish columns, examines Irish-language print, broadcast and online journalism. It says much about the development in this area (or should that be arena?) that this is a new edition of a book originally published in 2007. A second issue of an Irish book is a rare enough thing, and it is not difficult to see why Delap’s book is in demand. His introduction and commentaries are pithy and informative while the short interviews provided by contributors (this reviewer has a small piece) offer a practical overview of what journalists do and the difficulties they face in providing information in a language not everyone – sometimes even those being interviewed – speaks.

“Is iontach an áis iad caibidlí 7, 8 agus 9 – a chuireann síos ar dhea-chleachtadh iriseoireachta os comhair na cúirte agus ó thaobh leabhail agus na heitice de – d’iriseoirí idir óg agus aosta. Sna caibidlí seo, leagtar síos treoracha agus moltaí do chásanna éagsúla, le neart samplaí reatha, i bhfriotal intuigthe agus ag seachaint an bhéarlagair a fhaide agus is féidir. Ba cheart go mbeadh an leabhar seo ar sheilfeanna chuile eagarthóir agus iriseoir sa tír fiú mura léitear ach na céad leathanach seo.”
