Buntús Cainte was a programme aimed at teaching the Irish language that was broadcast on Raidió Teilifís Éireann in Ireland, beginning in 1967. The show was designed to appeal to young viewers, and was lively and humorous. The programme was presented by Máire O’Neill and Aileen Geoghegan. By November 1967, 218,000 copies of the Buntús Cainte lessons booklet had been sold. The programme catered to people with little or no Irish. Phrases were spoken by the presenters in both Irish and English, and were also overlaid on a simple static cartoon relating to the phrase. It is also the title of a series of 3 books which contain the programme material, including the cartoons, the spoken Irish words and the English and Irish text.
