Millions of Irish tax-payer money funnelled to privately owned radio stations to promote “Covid-19 awareness”




In April 2021, The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) announced they received €2.58 MILLION of tax-payer money from the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD (Green Party).

The money went to privately owned radio stations to produce over 6,500 hours of content relating to COVID-19. The programming included adult and youth audiences across broad-format, music-driven and speech-driven services at local, regional and national levels according to the BAI.

Here is the list of privately owned radio stations who received tax-payer money.
