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.

John Concannon has recently been appointed as Ireland’s Ambassador to Canada, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Lucia. His most recent posting was as the Director General of the Global Ireland and Economic Division in Department of Foreign Affairs.
John has had numerous leadership roles across both public and private sectors, including with Unilever PLC, Dubarry, Fáilte Ireland, the Taoiseach’s Office, the Department of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and has served as Vice President of the University of Galway.
No stranger to Tourism, John led the merger of the Regional Tourism Authorities in 2006 in the role of Director of Regional Development for Fáilte Ireland, and following this, he took up the role of Director of Market Development with the National Tourism Development Authority. In 2014 he was appointed Director of the “Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme”, the largest cultural initiative undertaken in the history of the State, and subsequently led the development of the “Creative Ireland” programme, to mainstream culture and creativity across public life. Following this, John was appointed as Director of Strategic Communications in the Department of An Taoiseach.
He was selected as Irish “Marketer of the Year” in 2011 for his work marketing Ireland, and was nominated again in 2013 as the creator of “The Gathering”. He has been centrally involved in three Civil Service Excellence Award winning programmes, namely Ireland 2016, Irelands Covid-19 communications response, and Ireland’s successful campaign to win a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
