What happens

I 1959, sheol Gael Linn Amharc Éireann, nuachtscannán seachtainiúil Gaeilge. Craoladh an nuachtscannán i bpictiúrlanna ar fud na Poblachta ó 1956 go dtí 1964. Léirigh Gael Linn an tsraith ó 1956 ar aghaidh chun an Ghaeilge agus cultúr na hÉireann a chur chun cinn. Sular tháinig an teilifís i réim (tháinig Telefís Éireann ar an bhfód ar 31 Nollaig 1961), taispeánadh na gearrscannáin i bpictiúrlanna ar fud na tíre mar réamhtheacht ar na príomhscannáin, tráth a mbíodh suas le milliún duine ag freastal ar an bpictiúrlann gach seachtain. Roimh Telefís Éireann, ba é Amharc Éireann an t-aon fhoinse nuachta a bhí ann i bpictiúrlanna. Ach níor craoladh riamh iad sa Tuaisceart. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
