Broadcast Services to provide EU-related News for Local and Community Radio Stations in Ireland-COMM/DUB/2021/OP/0058

European Commission, COMM - Communication, COMM.DGA1.C.DU - Dublin - Representation in Ireland

In the framework of its information and communication activities, the Representation in Ireland intends to sign a contract with a service supplier to provide EU-related news stories for local and community radio stations in Ireland.
Whereas, in Ireland, the national news media have special editors/correspondents assigned in Brussels to cover European stories, the local media have no such facility. Given that local radio commands approximately 56 % of daytime listenership in this country (source: JNLR report August 2019), and having regard to the need to improve the flow of information about the EU to the general public, the European Commissionโ€™s Representation in Ireland proposes to offer a news service on EU policies and activities for use by local and community radio stations.
