Hundreds of events focused on the Irish language are taking place across the country, with primary schools in particular joining in the craic agus ceol to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge. RTÉ's Arts and Media Correspondent tells us more.

RTÉ's Petula Martyn has a report from Explore Engineering at Shannon Airport. Engineers from 60 companies across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary engaged with more than 2,000 students about the variety of educational options and career opportunies available in the region.

The viral smash hit, The Spark, from Kabin Crew & Lisdoonvarna Crew, has won the RTÉ Choice Music Prize's Song of The Year. It was recorded as part of the Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations and we are delighted.
