Irish Pirate Radio Museum Update

Firstly my apologies for the tardiness of an update but some family issues have taken precedence. Some months ago I organised a meeting with the aim of hopefully launching an exhibition or museum dedicated to Irish Pirate Radio and it was a great start in Branigans with some excellent suggestions.

 I have been honoured and privileged to have received the donation of two private collections of pirate radio memorabilia and hopefully in the not too distant future everyone will enjoy the extent of these archives.
I have been in touch with Libraries, galleries and have made contact with both the Arts Council and Heritage departments with the view of either securing grant funding or a venue to display these great collections and delivering the story of Irish pirate radio, an integral part of Irish broadcasting history and Irish history.

A business plan has been drawn up and the archives catalogued and with your help we may be able to secure sustainable funding from a benefactor who has an interest in Irish media history and education or find a donor of a venue especially as we reach the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the 1988 Wireless Telegraphy Act.
