THE search is on for a New Irish-speaking soap star as one Donegal actor could follow in the footsteps of Gavin Ó Fearraigh, Niall Mac Eachmharcaigh and Bridín Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh on TG4’s award-winning drama Ros na Rún.
The Irish language drama, co-produced by Eo Teilifis and Tyrone Productions, is looking for budding Irish language actors to join their cast.
