The Irish Film Channel (Bealach Scannán na hÉireann in Irish) is a proposed free-to-air public television channel to launch in the Republic of Ireland in 2009. It was formally announced by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Eamon Ryan, on 15 May 2008[1]. The concept for the channel came from Bord Scannán na hÉireann. The channel will air Irish, European and International cinema, with a strong emphasis on Irish productions. It has been proposed that channel will initially air three films per day on the channel on a regular basis seven days a week. The channel will not air commercials. The addition of a new television channel falls in line with the launch of the national free-to-air digital terrestrial and satellite service that is yet to be named and is scheduled to launch in late 2008.
The new film channel is just one of the new proposed channels to launch in 2009; on the same day Oireachtas TV was also announced.
