- The people of Carlow town have taken enthusiastically to an RTÉ community radio project.
From a mobile broadcasting unit based in the Market, Carlow Community Radio has brought the voices and views of the town to the airwaves.
A wide variety of programmes devised by a local committee involved over two hundred people had the whole town listening in over six days, from 19 to 24 October.
Carlow is just one participant in the RTÉ community radio scheme. Over the past two years Tuam, Drumshanbo, Gorey, Listowel, The Liberties in Dublin, Athboy, Waterford, Downings and Athlone are just some of the other regional locations where teams of volunteers compiled and presented radio programmes for their own communities.
RTÉ provided the technical services and engineers, as well as dedicated radio producers to encourage, direct and oversee each locale’s output. One listener says that she has learned a lot about the town from listening to the radio this week, and would like to see it continue,
I think it would be a very good thing for the town.
One of the functions of RTÉ community radio is to encourage local talent, and Carlow musicians have had their chance to shine, like award-winning singer Yvonne Slater and popular showband The Hennessy Family. The station’s youngest radio presenter Deirdre O’Brien is just fourteen years old.
The entire operation has taken place under the guidance of RTÉ Radio producer John Skehan, who is very pleased with how the Carlow broadcasts are going, given that none of the volunteers have any experience or background in radio,
I think they’re absolutely remarkable.
Chairman of Carlow Community Radio John Scott says that initial expectations for the venture were low, but its success has taken everyone by surprise. It has also encouraged a sense of place in the town,
It has bound the people of Carlow together as a community.
A ‘Newsround’ report broadcast on 30 October 1977. The reporter is Brendan O’Brien.
“the ads”
😂😂 if only she knew what was coming
The two women at 0:56 are my late Nanny's sisters, was a surprise to see them pop up!
One of them is my granny, on the left. Was nice to see her again! Even if the woman called her Mrs Growl lol ...
Marvellous 👌
Was born just outside Carlow.
Potato Park sure has been a staple in Carlow history
you irish people are awesome
Excited for them tbh. Can see it being an exciting project. Was balls deep on the 3 vs 5 man panel debate until the camera panned out and it reminded me that they were going at it in the back of a glorified caravan. Was your man re-applying when the chairman and treasurer were removed from the sporting decisions?? I must know!! This chat still happens on Sky Sports ffs! Club politics!! :) xx
Is the reporter Brendan O'Brien?
The voice is very familiar but I can't be sure.
When I arrived in Carlow for the first time, 4 years ago for college, the first thing I saw was a man rolling around on the ground outside centra blaming Polish people for everything. Wonderful wee town.
I bet he wishes he only had Polish people problems in 2022.
@@RedOakCrow I dont know man, to be truly honest with you, some of the wildest shit I've ever seen has happened in Carlow, I think he may have other things to worry about.
Carlow is full of crazy people. But there are good people too. Just like any place.

7am: Mass
8am: A discussion about mass
9am-1pm: music for mammy's to help them while cleaning the house for her man.
2-4pm: How to cover up a black eye & bruises with simple mascara tips!
5-6pm: In the pot. A light-hearted look at what happens when a wife doesn't have her man's food on the table.
6pm: Close
A man should come home to a nice meal and a clean house if out working all day providing for his family, kind of the least to expect really.
Men are simple creatures, a full belly and empty balls and we're happy.
