The broadcasting and online media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, has approved funding of €2.4 millon for the independent radio sector.

These topics include media literacy, gender, equality, diversity, inclusion and developing communities.

Objectives of the Sound and Vision Scheme include developing high-quality programmes based on Irish culture, record oral heritage and aspects of heritage which are under threat, and develop local and community broadcasting.

Media Development Commissioner Rónán Ó Domhnaill said the scheme will also assist stations to explore opportunities that increase audience engagement through training and outreach activities, in particular for minorities and newer communities.
