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.

Melanie McComb holds a B.S. from the State University of New York at Oswego. She is an international lecturer who teaches on a variety of topics including colonial through twentieth-century American military research, genetic genealogy, Atlantic Canadian, African American, Jewish, and Irish genealogy. She is also an Honorary Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society. She has had articles published in American Ancestors Magazine and Fifty Plus Advocate. She is a blogger, known as The Shamrock Genealogist.
Using published and online primary sources, Melanie uncovers the story of the migration of the Irish to Canada before and during The Great Famine. Melanie delivered a webinar reviewing the different immigration schemes including the Peter Robinson settlers to Ontario, the Monaghan Settlers to Atlantic Canada, and assisted immigration to Quebec, drawing on records about their departure from Ireland and arrival into Canada, including quarantine stations at Partridge Island and Gross Ile.
The Irish Within Us by Carole A. Logan
Three cousins mysteriously return to their ancestral village in Northern Ireland. There’s mischief, secrets, predictions, and maybe fairies … if you believe in fairies.
C.A. Logan is a Canadian novelist based in Ottawa. Her work explores the world with humour, eccentricity, and the magic around us. The magic isn’t obvious – don’t blink or you’ll miss it. She is a tarot-reading, left-handed Piscean, a Sherlockian, a Janeite, and a Whovian. In university, she studied Literature, Journalism, History and Culture. She worked in finance, not-for-profit arts administration and its symbiotic nemesis, government arts funding. All this feeds her stories.
The Cobblestone Irish Traditional Music Joke Book
A Guide to Irish Traditional Music Wit
Compiled by Tommy Fegan, inspired by the shenanigans of Tom Mulligan’s Cobblestone’s Pub Dublin.From the heart of Dublin's traditional music scene comes a collection that'll have you laughing faster than The Dublin Reel! Tommy Fegan has spent decades gathering the finest quips, quotes, and jokes from sessions across Ireland, and beyond.
Tom Mulligan has owned traditional Irish pubs in Ireland over the last 50 years, including the legendary Cobblestone Pub in Dublin. As Fear a Tí, and regular resident flute player (no jokes, please!), he has been well placed to eavesdrop on the often-wicked wit of slagging session players.
Together the two Toms have come up with 201.5 memorable jokes and stories, with colourful illustrations to enable slow learners to get the joke!
Between these covers, you'll find:
Classic session stories that get better with every telling
Musicians' most memorable two-liners
The wit and wisdom from The Cobblestone's hallowed walls
Time-tested techniques for surviving your first session (with your dignity mostly intact)
Commissioned trad joke cartoons
