It's called Grá ar an Trá and you can expect to see it on your screens later this year on Virgin Media with everyone's favourite messer, James Kavanagh as 'man an tí'.

TV company Macalla and James are looking for twelve couples to get involved in the project to find the couple with 'the most focail' but have emphasized that not everyone involved has to be completely líofa.

Grá ar an Trá comes after First Dates Ireland had their first date as Gaeilge this year and RTÉ's Réaltaí na Gaeltachta sent 5 familiar faces back to the Gaeltacht to test their Irish after a week's immersion course in Rann na Feirste.

Dóibh siúd a bhfuil spéis acu sa togra seo, is gá a bheith idir na haoiseanna 18-30 agus a bheith ar fáil don scannánaíocht a thosóidh i mí Bealtaine. Beidh deis acu siúd a bheidh páirteach duais de €10,000 euro a bhaint.

Filming for the programme will begin in May and contestants will live together in a house with fixed rig cameras to capture all the action. You can apply for Grá ar an Trá by emailing graarantra@gmail.com for more details.
