America's Only Irish Station RADIOIRISH.COM is taking a look at the news headlines of the irish Examiner newspaper this week which report that actor Gabriel Byrne said he is determined to present the "new voices" of Irish arts, as he announced details of the biggest and most ambitious program of events ever to be sent to the US. Imagine Ireland, a $5m year-long season of Irish arts in the US, has been a pet project for Byrne in his role as Ireland's Cultural ambassador for almost two years.

He admitted being "tremendously excited" as he launched the project, which is supported by Culture Ireland, at New York's Lincoln Center on Friday.

As heavy snow fell outside the large glass atrium in the Alice Tully Hall, a large gathering inside watched a specially-commissioned short film featuring Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, Ellen Barkin, Aiaen Quinn and Stockard Channing reading famous Irish poems and quotes.
