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.

The vision of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland is for an Irish media landscape that reflects and shapes who we are. In an increasingly globalising world, that aspiration acknowledges Ireland·s distinctive heritage and traditions while also embracing the inevitability of change and transformation. The Sound and Vision Scheme is central to our vision and to our related strategic objectives · increasing culturally relevant audio and audiovisual content for Irish audiences; fostering a media landscape that is representative of and accessible to the diversity of Irish society; and, supporting quality programming in the Irish language.
Established under the Broadcasting (Funding) Act 2003, the Sound and Vision Scheme has made an invaluable contribution to Irish broadcasting and Irish life. The extent of that contribution has been affirmed in the recent review of Sound and Vision 3 conducted by Mediatique on behalf of the Authority. Since 2015, eleven funding rounds have been completed under Sound and Vision 3 providing funding to 1,322 projects totalling Euro 60.7m. The scheme has helped fund 2,654 hours of Irish content broadcast across TV and radio.
Sound and Vision facilitates the production of culturally relevant content for Irish audiences that would not otherwise be made, including programmes in the Irish language, and is a fundamental part of the funding infrastructure for the independent production sector. Operating on an open basis, the scheme facilitates the engagement of a diverse range of programme-makers, from a
small local business making programmes for community and local broadcasters, to large production houses making films for national and international audiences. Through its ancillary measures, the scheme also supports much needed skills training and development.
