Amharc Éireann

Ó 1956 go lár 1957, bhí míreanna gearra nuachta á dháileadh ar phictiúrlanna go míosúil ag Gael Linn faoin teideal Amharc Éireann. I lár 1957, d’aontaigh an comhlacht Rank iad a sholáthar do phictiúrlanna lena nuachtscannáin féin. Faoi 1959, rinneadh iad a léiriú go seachtainiúil agus bhí 4 scéal gach seachtain. Produced by Colm O’Laoghaire, 267 Amharc Éireann short newsreels were shown in cinemas throughout the country and distributed by the Rank organisation. Amharc Éireann production ceased in 1964 but its influence is ongoing. A few samples below, together with a 1977 RTÉ programme based on Amharc Éireann.
