A brief bulletin of the main news headlines aired daily after the RTÉ News: One O'Clock, with the in-vision newsreader on the left of the screen and a scrolling transcript of the Irish text on the right, taken directly from the autocue.

The longer 5:20pm programme consisted of the main news stories of the day, with pre-recorded packages from reporters, a brief weather forecast, and a teaser for that evening's Nuacht TG4.

It was presented mainly by Siún Nic Gearailt on weekdays, and by Brídóg Ni Bhuachalla on weekends.

In 2009, RTÉ moved its Irish language television news department to Galway, based in the same premises with TG4, although it retained a separate studio and visual identity.
