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.

Waterford is the host city for the 2026 World GAA Games.
The five-day event will feature matches over four days at SETU
Arena, West Campus, Carriganore, Co. Waterford from July 13–16,
2026, with the finals taking place on Friday, July 17 in the County
ground at Walsh Park.
Admission is free to the week long festival of games and all are
most welcome to attend!
The oneills.com GAA World Games is a competition that recognises the
global expansion of Gaelic games.
As well as traditional strong holds across Britain and North
America, GAA clubs now have a vibrant pulse in operation in Asia,
the Middle East, right across Europe and Australia. New clubs made
up of non-native Irish people who have been drawn to, and inspired
by Gaelic games is proof of the strengthening of these overseas
roots.
The oneills.com GAA World Games is a chance to bring these regions
together to celebrate their passion for our games and help them
develop even further.
Massive congratulations to our Ottawa Gaels men who will compete and
represent at the 2026 World Gaelic Games in Waterford, Ireland 🇮🇪
🇨🇦🏐
We are so proud of each and every one of you. Pulling on that jersey
and representing your country on the world stage is something truly
special.
The Ottawa Gaels’ ladies team heading to the 2026 World GAA Games in
Waterford, Ireland have been hard at work getting ready! Handpassing
is coming along nicely. 🤣
David Keenan wrote the ode to his hometown of Dundalk on the Irish
border “El Paso” at 14.
Self educated and guided by his grandfather’s storytelling gift
songwriting has always been a full time vocation. After a number of
self released EPs his first album “A Beginner's Guide to Bravery"
(2020) reached number 1 in the Irish indie Charts and was followed
by the critically acclaimed second "WHAT THEN?" a year later. Other
works include live album/concert film "Alchemy & Prose” and the
d.i.y “CRUDE” records. With a reputation as a uniquely poetic
singer-songwriter/storyteller and relentless live performer he has
toured consistently from a young age across Ireland, the UK, Europe,
North America and Australia with events including two headline
nights in Dublin's Olympia theatre, the main stage of Electric
Picnic, appearances at Lowlands, SXSW, Sydney Fest, Folk Alliance,
Eurosonic, Glastonbury and Celtic Connections, residencies in Paris
and New York's Irish Arts Centres & a recent headline show in
Ireland’s National Concert Hall.
Bryan comes from the heart of it, in Tureencahill, Gneeveguilla, Co.
Kerry. His grandfather Johnny O’Leary was one of the key figures of
Sliabh Luachra music in the 20th century and he proudly continues
his legacy. Johnny received the TG4 Gradam Ceoil Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2003, and in 2014, Bryan was honoured with the
TG4 Gradam Ceoil Young Musician of the Year Award- both at the same
venue, the Concert Hall at the University of Limerick. This was a
very proud moment for Bryan and his family, and he continues to
honour and promote his grandfather’s legacy.
Aidan, although born and reared in Dublin, was introduced to Sliabh
Luachra music by his mother Eileen Moynihan, from Gneeveguilla, a
tin whistle player, and his uncle Con Moynihan, a fiddle player now
living in Castleisland. Paddy Moynihan (1918-1989), Aidan’s
grandfather, was an accordion player who would have played with
Johnny O’Leary in Thady Willy’s Hall for dances.
We first performed together at the Patrick O’Keeffe Festival in
2022, alongside Brian Mooney. From there, we began to play together
more regularly, mainly repertoire shaped by the old sources we love
to explore
The Handed Down Sliabh Luachra Archive, founded by PJ Teahan, has
been an invaluable resource along the way as we put this album
together. Above all, we are grateful to the generations who have
carried this music before us, and we hope this album honours the
spirit of Sliabh Luachra.
