Welcome to the Irish Radio Canada Website.
We are proud to share our Internet Radio Station. In 2005 we commenced
On-Air broadcasting with CHIN 97.9FM producing and presenting The Gaelic
Hour as a weekly show. in Sept 2016 we launched this new format.
You can now enjoy a selection of music every day and we will be able to
expand on the number of hours of interviews, as time goes on.
I would like to encourage you to submit your music selection and
hopefully I can find what you like in my library.
The Archives section of the site will continue to provide access to the
Gaelic Hour shows since 2006. Twitter, Facebook page and group will
become more relevant in communicating and I hope to increase the use of
Instagram as time goes on.
If you have some suggestions, please visit the contact page and send on
your ideas.
The 11 years on air have been fun, but the effort in raising the large
sum required to buy the time has become more onerous and the online
station offers the opportunity to increase content and reduce costs.
You can listen to the station using a variety of tools. The player on
this page may be the simplest. The links below provide additional
choices of players. Also, you can use your Smart Speaker to ask Alexa or
Google for "Irish Radio Canada from TuneIn"
I hope you enjoy and continue to listen.
Austin.

The Replay is a collaboration between the GAA (https://www.gaa.ie/), RTÉ Archives (https://www.rte.ie/archives/) and The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (https://alzheimer.ie/).
An online archive celebrating the iconic voice of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, the legendary commentator of Ireland’s national games.
It was created with one simple idea in mind:
To help people relive iconic moments in Irish sporting history through the voice of Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
For generations of supporters, Micheál’s commentary went beyond match coverage. His lilting Kerry accent and unique turn of phrase captured the drama, the colour, the rivalries, the heartbreak and the joy of Gaelic Games. His voice became part of the fabric of Irish life, a permanent fixture in homes, pubs, cars and community halls across the country.
The Replay brings those moments back.

Dr Ciarán Wallace
Programme Director, VRTI Department of History, TCD
The Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI) is an all-island and international research partnership working to reconstruct the Public Record Office of Ireland — a magnificent archive destroyed in 1922 at the outset of the Civil War. The research programme is funded by the Government of Ireland under Project Ireland 2040 through the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
Launched in 2022 by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, VRTI is an open-access resource, freely and permanently available online to all those interested in Ireland’s deep history, at home and abroad.
VRTI restores and reimagines a lost archival treasure — the Public Record Office of Ireland, destroyed in the Irish Civil War in 1922 — through historical research, archival conservation, and technical innovation. It enriches the public understanding of Ireland’s past and reconnects a global audience to our documentary heritage. Start your journey with our latest releases for 2026. For family history, the VRTI Population Portal holds our name-rich collections including the 1766 Religious Census and gleanings from the 1821 Census of Ireland.
VRTI does not merely platform digital resources shared by partners. Rather, it creates something entirely new — a veritable Treasury of historical sources, newly translated, enhanced and contextualised — from the collections to which partner organisations provide access. VRTI is, in this sense, entirely unique in the world.
VRTI:
Democratises access to authentic archival records of Irish history;
Unites dispersed collections across Ireland and internationally;
Supports education and lifelong learning at all levels;
Strengthens all-island and international collaboration;
Engages the Irish diaspora, with over 50% of users based outside Ireland;
Supports the adoption of advanced digital technologies, including responsible AI, across the cultural heritage sector.
The research programme is hosted by Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin, having been founded by Dr Peter Crooks, Department of History, in 2016.

Cheryl Prashker: Artistic Director for the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival
The Goderich Celtic Roots Festival is an annual celebration of the music, craft, and culture of the seven Celtic nations, immigrants of which form a strong historic background to Huron County. From a single memorial concert held in 1993 to honour the life of a local teacher, the Celtic Roots Festival has grown to include a week-long school of music, dance and craft art for children and adults, known as the Celtic College, and a parallel school for children called the Celtic Kids Camp, a series of rural outreach mini-concerts, and a three-day traditional outdoor festival held in beautiful Lions' Harbour Park on the shores of Lake Huron, in Goderich, Ontario, Canada. The mandate of the Goderich Celtic Folk Society, our parent organization and a CRA registered charitable organization, is to produce events which foster awareness, participation, and education in the world of traditional Celtic culture.
With five stages, varying from small intimate performances to the high-powered Main Stage, the Festival is a unique musical experience in Canada and on the world-wide stage. Fresh local food, high-quality craft artisans, art demonstrations, children's activity area, an evening market – and over 60 hours of live music – make this an unmissable weekend in Goderich. A visit to the Festival is also a great way to experience Goderich, "the prettiest town in Canada", with the stunning beaches of Lake Huron and downtown shopping all within minutes' walk of the park.
