The 1991 awards ceremony took place on November 9, 1991 at the Burlington Hotel, Dublin, and was hosted by Marian Finucane. Due to extensive coverage of a concurrent leadership crisis in Fianna Fail, the ceremony was not covered in the Irish national press. Consequently, the list of winners of the television award for that year is incomplete. A subsequent article in The Irish Times (January 1, 1992) suggests that the missing names include Hugh Leonard's TV play Parnell and the Englishwoman starring Trevor Eve, the documentary series Bringing It All Back Home, and A Song for Europe, a spoof documentary on the Eurovision Song Contest. A later article in the same paper (January 10, 1992) indicates that a total of 15 awards (radio and TV) were made in 1991, 14 of them to men. This would leave six TV award winners to be added to the relevant section of the article page. The most likely source of a definitive list of 1991 TV winners is the edition of the RTÉ Guide published around the second or third week of November. Jim Bruce 18:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
