Conemara native Barbara Nic Dhonnacha has taken home a prestigious national radio award this week for her work in Irish Language broadcasting.

“Is mór an onóir aitheantas a fháil ag Oireachtas na Gaeilge agus táim buíoch ó chroí as an gradam seo a bronnadh orm.,” Barbara said.
“It’s a huge honour to receive recognition at the Oireachtas na Gaeilge awards, everyone working through Irish in media in Ireland wants to be shortlisted here. I’m delighted to win this award doing what I love – Irish language radio.”
