The plan to put a levy on Netflix and other streamers to support independent Irish productions has been squished by the Minister for Media.Patrick O'Donovan has said that people are already paying enough for streaming services, but is he right?Joining Kieran to discuss is Larry Bass, CEO of production company ShinAWil and former board member of Screen Ireland and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.

10 years on from the original release, we are delighted to bring you a chance to hear ‘Never Ignored: Ollie's Reds' once again. This documentary from award winning producer Eoin Brennan brings us the story of one of Irish sports' most remarkable figures, and perhaps the most dramatic tale of rise and fall in Irish sporting history...This is the story of Shelbourne Football Club's rise from a destitute club in the 1980s to coming within 30 minutes of the Champions League group stages in 2004, before an unprecedented, rapid fall in 2006 left the club drowning in debt and struggling for survival.The programme examines how Shelbourne's fate was intertwined to the bold, revolutionary and ultimately doomed vision of Ollie Byrne – the club's owner, one time saviour and its most passionate supporter.Going beyond Byrne's time in football, ‘Never Ignored: Ollie's Reds' also tells the life story of Byrne, from his time managing bands, including Phil Lynott's Skid Row, on the Dublin rock scene of the 1970s, to running nightclubs and a spell in prison.A parable of Ireland in the Celtic Tiger years, Ollie Byrne and Shels displayed unbridled ambition and fuelled it with borrowings far beyond their means, and this story tells us not only about sport, but also wider Irish society during those years.Through interviews with former players, managers, Shelbourne board members, staff and supporters, and Ollie Byrne's family, this documentary brings us the story of one of the most colourful characters ever to grace Irish sport.‘Never Ignored: Ollie's Reds' was written and produced by Eoin Brennan. Presented by and sound design by Neil Kavanagh. Edited by Eoin Brennan and Neil Kavanagh. Additional research and reporting by Shane Dawson.The project was supported by a grant from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, as part of the Sound And Vision Scheme.Archive audio supplied by RTE Archives and Libraries.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/22w5zcar Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com The Media Commission is "very concerned" about the RTÉ controversy. "An-imní" ar Choimisiún na Meán faoi chonspóid RTÉ. The executive chairman of the Media Commission, Jeremy Godfrey, has indicated that he is very concerned about the controversy surrounding certain payments and governance matters in RTÉ. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag cathaoirleach feidhmiúcháin Choimisiún na Meán Jeremy Godfrey go bhfuil an-imní air faoin gconspóid a bhaineann le híocaíochtaí áirithe agus cúrsaí rialachais in RTÉ. Since it emerged a fortnight ago that presenter Ryan Tubridy was given payments that were not publicly announced as they should have been, there has been a bee carta's nest in the organisation. Ó tháinig sé chun solais corradh le coicís ó shin gur tugadh íocaíochtaí don láithreoir Ryan Tubridy nár fógraíodh go poiblí mar ba chóir, tá nead beach carta san eagraíocht. The Media Commission was established four months ago and oversees broadcasting and video-on-demand services in the State. Bunaíodh Coimisiún na Meán ceithre mhí ó shin agus is é a dhéanann maoirseacht ar chúrsaí craolacháin agus ar sheirbhísí físeán ar éileamh sa Stát. Before that, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland was responsible for these matters. Roimhe sin, ba é Údarás Craolacháin na hÉireann a bhí freagrach as na cúrsaí sin. Speaking on RTÉ radio this morning, Jeremy Godfrey declared that the Media Commission has a specific statutory duty to keep track from year to year of the commitments made by RTÉ and how they are fulfilled, if they are fulfilled. Ag labhairt dó ar raidió RTÉ ar maidin inniu, dhearbhaigh Jeremy Godfrey go bhfuil dualgas reachtúil faoi leith ar Choimisiún na Meán súil a choinneáil ó bhliain go bliain ar na gealltanais a thugann RTÉ agus cé mar a chomhlíontar iad, má chomhlíontar. Public participation in the decisions made by RTÉ is one of those commitments, says Jeremy Godfrey, and another is to strengthen and secure public service broadcasting. Rannpháirtíocht an phobail sna cinntí a dhéanann RTÉ is ea ceann de na gealltanais sin, arsa Jeremy Godfrey, agus ceann eile acu is ea an chraoltóireacht seirbhíse poiblí a neartú agus a dhaingniú. As part of that last commitment, he said, RTÉ must be open, accountable in the affairs of the organization and be both effective and efficient in those affairs. Mar chuid den ghealltanas deireanach sin, ar sé, ní mór do RTÉ a bheith oscailte, cuntas a thabhairt i ngnóthaí na heagraíochta agus a bheith éifeachtach agus éifeachtúil araon sna gnóthaí sin. However, he claimed that all those things have been cast in doubt by what has been revealed recently. Mhaígh sé, áfach, go bhfuil amhras caite ar na rudaí sin ar fad ag a bhfuil nochta le gairid. Jeremy Godfrey also confirmed that the Media Commission will be reviewing RTÉ's effectiveness every year from now on. Dhearbhaigh Jeremy Godfrey chomh maith go mbeidh Coimisiún na Meán ag déanamh athbhreithniú gach bliain feasta ar éifeachtacht RTÉ. He said that the Commission will submit recommendations to the Minister of Media according to the annual reviews. Dúirt sé go gcuirfidh an Coimisiún moltaí faoi bhráid an Aire Meán de réir a mbeidh sna hathbhreithnithe bliantúla. If RTÉ fails, he said, the Commission will have to recommend to the Minister to look at the television license (from which RTÉ is funded) or the public will trust the organization again. Má loiceann ar RTÉ, arsa sé, beidh ar an gCoimisiún moladh don Aire breathnú ar an gceadúnas teilfíse (as a maoinítear RTÉ) nó go mbeidh muinín ag an bpobal arís as an eagraíocht.

Across Ireland, people are doing exciting and important science, even though they didn't train as scientists. They are documenting sightings of birds and insects, of lizards and newts. They are playing games that improve our understanding of the human mind, mapping meteors across our solar system, and testing the water in our rivers and streams. They are even helping unearth our history at archaeological dig sites. In this programme, we explore the field of ‘citizen science', we find out about the projects people are contributing to, and we discover how it is improving our understanding of science. Citizen Science, was produced by Shaun & Maurice (aka science communicator Shaun O'Boyle and artist Maurice Kelliher) and was funded by a grant from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the Television Licence Fee. ‘Citizen Science' features: ● Jonathan Mackey from DIAS Dunsink Observatory ● Susan Hegarty from the DCU Water Institute ● Claire Gillen from Neureka ● Kieran Flood from The Irish Wildlife Trust ● Tara Adcock from Birdwatch Ireland ● Graeme Warren and Conor McDermott from UCD School of Archaeology

Documentary On Newstalk presents "Undocumented", independent producer Bairbre Flood brings us the stories of those who have been living in Ireland, Undocumented, and the impact the groundbreaking regularisation scheme has had.  Last year saw the start of a groundbreaking regularisation scheme for thousands of people who've been living and working in Ireland for many years without papers. It came after ten years of campaigning by migrant communities working with the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI) in the ‘Justice for Undocumented' campaign. Albert Bello, Irene Jagoba, Neil Bruton and Claudiane Lima share their experiences of working on the campaign and why it's so important to continue and broaden the scheme. Bello and Jagoba share how it has affected their lives and they explain why it's vital that this scheme continues for new arrivals. For them, and all the people who've been living in a state of limbo for so long, this has been a life-changing scheme. And for those who missed out and for those still arriving it offers a template for how we can continue to regularise migration in Ireland. As of now, nearly 8,000 applicants have received a stable and secure status, with roughly 3000 people still waiting for their result. But some people - like Claudiane Lima who has been living in Ireland for nine years, with her children - didn't qualify for the scheme. And there are people arriving all the time who could benefit from a continuation of a regularisation programme. ‘We know the life - it wasn't easy,' said Irene Jagoba. ‘We're hoping that the scheme will continue without a closing date. So that no one - no undocumented people - will live undocumented for a very long time, because it was a tough life.' For more information on this ongoing campaign please go to the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland - www.mrci.ie Produced by Bairbre Flood with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) under the Sound and Vision Scheme.

Documentary On Newstalk presents "Extraordinary Éire" a fast paced dash through the history books. A two-part documentary series focusing on the discoveries, inventions and successes attributed to Irish people throughout history, many of which are largely forgotten by today's society. From perforated stamps to CGI animation, from Milk of Magnesia to Cream Crackers, an Irish person has had a hand in inventing and discovering some of the most commonly used things in everyday life. And as for amazing accomplishments and fascinating feats, Irish people throughout history have created societal changes which helped shape the world in which we live. The first episode, Our Land, deals with the Irish affinity with the Irish sod, and tells stories of seismologists and farming revolutionaries, navigators who have discovered new lands, Irish sport and dance stars, and Irish men and women who have made a name for themselves in new lands. Episode Two, Up In The Éire, looks to the skies, and tells the stories of Irish aviation and the heroes of Irish flight, those who have emigrated and Irish products which have been sent to the four corners of the earth, chemists who furthered our understanding of gases, revolutionary astronomers and the first witch trials in Western Europe.

Over the past 2 months, more than 5 million people have left Ukraine, and another 6-and-a-half-million have fled their homes and are now displaced elsewhere within their own country, making this Europe's largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. Neighboring countries are struggling to keep up with the exodus, but they've generally been fairly welcoming, which many critics have pointed out is a markedly different approach from how they've treated African and Middle Eastern refugees in the past. With so much of the world's attention now focused on Ukraine, I thought I'd spend some time this episode featuring the voices of refugees from other parts of the world, since their stories are of course equally important. The recordings come from the Sound Seekers Audio Festival and were produced by refugee, asylum, and migrant communities in partnership with community radio stations, the Irish Research Council, and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.

As part of Documentary on Newstalk a new programme by producer JJ O'Shea, telling the story of the development of 19th century mansion, Muckross House in “A Gift to The Nation”. “A Gift to The Nation”, tells the story of the development of Muckross House after it was gifted to the people of Ireland in 1932. Today the house is a museum and one of the most visited attractions in Ireland and in retrospect it may seem this is an obvious destination for its use, but several other possibilities were explored before that decision was reached. A Gift to The Nation is produced and presented by J.J. O`Shea and funded by The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.  

Documentary on Newstalk, Producer Patricia Baker celebrates the medium of the wireless in: To Radio With Love. Every day in Ireland over three million people listen to the radio. As we go about our day, more often than not, it is the radio that informs, entertains and stimulates us. Originally broadcast in 2014, To Radio With Love is a radio documentary which consists of a series of letters, a love letter if you will, written and then read out over the air by a diverse group of individuals ranging from radio presenters, development workers, and slum radio practitioners, to civil rights activists, artists and poets. These audio letters tell the story of how radio helps build communities, gives a voice to local people, and shapes modern culture. A soundtrack of iconic radio broadcasts from around the globe accompanies the letters. The contributors on To Radio With Love are: Joe Duffy, June Rodgers, Keith Somerville, Rosemary Day, Pat Herbert, Tole Nyatta, Simon Maher, Theo Dorgan, Míchéal O'Muircheartaigh, Margaretta D'Arcy and Knut Aufferman.

Exploring the harmful effect of man-made noise pollution on the whales and dolphins inhabiting Irish waters in a new radio documentary by producer John Higgins: A Sea of Sound Over 90% of Ireland's territory is under the sea and this vast underwater environment is home to 25 different species of whale, dolphin and porpoise, from deep diving beaked whales hunting squid in the spectacular mountains and valleys of the ocean floor off our west coast, and humpback whales feeding and foraging here on their long migratory routes from Africa to Iceland, to resident species such as the bottlenose dolphins living all year round in the Shannon estuary. With each passing decade however, man-made noise in the ocean from sources such as fishing and shipping has effectively doubled, creating a dense acoustic smog which our marine mammals are forced to navigate through, impacting massively on these highly intelligent animals and their ability to feed, reproduce, migrate and communicate. What happens when the ocean becomes so full of noise that whales and other cetaceans can no longer hear each other sing? In the midst of a worldwide extinction crisis, the increasing number of dolphins and whales washing up injured or dead on Irish coves and beaches is a major cause for concern. A Sea of Sound also examines what can and is being done to turn down the volume of man-made noise in the sea and what might be done to try and protect this beautiful acoustic environment and the creatures that live there into the future. Over the course of the documentary John travels around the Irish coast, on land and on the water, talking to a diverse range of people who care about our marine environment, from scientists, conservationists and volunteers to politicians and fishermen. A Sea of Sound is an As the Crow Flies production funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and is produced by John Higgins, edited by Francesca Lalor and mastered by Neil Kavanagh, Image Credit: Nick Massett

Radio award nominated, "WHO KILLED BILLED?", written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Marc-Ivan O'Gorman, produced by Daryl Moorhouse of Tinpot Productions, tells the compelling story of the life and death of Irish-born Hollywood director William Desmond Taylor. A top director of his time, his murder in February 1922 became the biggest scandal of the day and ultimately changed Tinseltown forever as it led to the introduction of what would be known as The Hays Code. Taylor's story contains all the elements of a racy Hollywood plot; glamour, sex, drugs, betrayal, corruption, intrigue and, of course, murder. Funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the Television Licence Fee.
