Welcome to the Irish Radio Canada Website.
We are proud to share our Internet Radio Station. In 2005 we commenced
On-Air broadcasting with CHIN 97.9FM producing and presenting The Gaelic
Hour as a weekly show. in Sept 2016 we launched this new format.
You can now enjoy a selection of music every day and we will be able to
expand on the number of hours of interviews, as time goes on.
I would like to encourage you to submit your music selection and
hopefully I can find what you like in my library.
The Archives section of the site will continue to provide access to the
Gaelic Hour shows since 2006. Twitter, Facebook page and group will
become more relevant in communicating and I hope to increase the use of
Instagram as time goes on.
If you have some suggestions, please visit the contact page and send on
your ideas.
The 11 years on air have been fun, but the effort in raising the large
sum required to buy the time has become more onerous and the online
station offers the opportunity to increase content and reduce costs.
You can listen to the station using a variety of tools. The player on
this page may be the simplest. The links below provide additional
choices of players. Also, you can use your Smart Speaker to ask Alexa or
Google for "Irish Radio Canada from TuneIn"
I hope you enjoy and continue to listen.

Irish Film Festival Ottawa celebrates Irish culture, language, humour and history through the modern medium of film. Founded in March 2014, the festival showcases recent films of all genres from Irish filmmakers in a three-day event that also incorporates Irish music, dance, and other arts.
Brendan Canty & Patrick Murray ~ Christy
The debut feature from accomplished music video director Brendan Canty (Hozier’s "Take Me to Church") mines humor and heart for a crowd-pleasing drama that resists typical social realist pitfalls.
Seventeen-year-old Christy (Danny Power) is at a crossroads. Kicked out of his latest suburban foster home, he returns to his old neighborhood to live with his estranged half-brother Shane (Diarmuid Noyes) and his young family, stirring up memories of their difficult childhood for both of them.
As far as Shane is concerned, the arrangement is temporary—but Christy begins to find himself and a sense of home on Cork's working-class northside. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his destructive extended family despite Shane’s best efforts to steer him away. After so many years apart, the brothers need to find a way to reconcile their turbulent past while deciding what the future looks like in a powerful story of brotherhood, belonging, second chances and finding your place in the world.
Adam O’Keeffe & Patrick Murray ~ Horseshoe
Four siblings. One will. With any luck, they won’t kill each other.
Four estranged siblings return to their crumbling family home in Sligo after the death of their father, where they attempt to navigate inheritance, grief, and long-buried grudges. But their time together unearths far more than expected – including secrets that just might shatter what little bond remains between them.
Blending razor-sharp dialogue with raw emotional depth, Horseshoe's comedy drama is anchored by powerful performances from an ensemble cast.
Colin McIvor ~ No Ordinary Heist
Inspired by an extraordinary true story about the 2004 Northern Bank robbery. In heavily policed, post-conflict Belfast, two Northern Bank workers become pawns when a dangerous gang uses tiger-kidnapping in an unorthodox, brilliant bank heist.
Báite/The Drowned ~ Ruán Magan & Patrick Murray
A woman's body is found under the waters of a lake in the countryside, and the arrival of a Detective from Dublin is the last thing Peggy, the owner of Casey's House, needs as she tries to save her business and her family.
Since the death of her parents, Peggy Casey (23) has not only been running her father's pub, Tigh Casey, located by a lake in a small rural Gaeltacht—she has been doing a great job of keeping it open. She does not understand how her siblings want to sell the pub, and realizing that selling would mean the end of her family, she is determined to stop them. Just as they are about to finally vote on the future of Tigh Casey, a body is found under the receding waters of the lake.
It is generally assumed to be a forgotten grave from the old cemetery, but when a detective is sent from Dublin to investigate, it is understood that more is involved. Not only does the detective's arrival indicate that the area is in bad shape, but his questions also shed light on the Caseys' difficult relationship.
