Animal Rescue Louth  Animal Rescue Louth is a programme about animal rescue services available in Co Louth and the local Dundalk area. The programme will focus on Holly’s Horse Haven a 24/7 critical care centre with over 10 years experience in the rehabilitation & re-homing of the countless rescues. The centre caters for hundreds of rescue animals from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland each year. In this programme you can hear about the establishment of Holly’s Horse Haven and the care they provide. The programme was recorded on location in Omeath. We also hear from volunteers, how they became involved and the benefits they receive on a social and emotional level from working with rescue animals.  We also feature Fiona Squibb, Louth SPCA officer who tells us about a foal ‘April’ that she rescued and the subsequent care and attention that April received at Hollys Horse Haven. This programme was funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the Television Licence Fee.

      An Appreciation to Tracey from your colleagues at Dundalk FM. Hi Tracey, We will miss your weekly 100% Irish show on Dundalk FM, it encouraged presenters to play some of the artists they heard on your show and your presentation style and the content of the show was as professional as you are likely to hear on any radio station. I hope that you got plenty of satisfaction from the series. It was a great honour for the station and for yourself as a music presenter to win a Craol Achievement Award (one of two you won!) in the words of the judges it was ‘innovative, well produced, stylish and, above all else, 100% Irish!’ I would like to thank you and Tray for the marvelous publicity you brought the guests and by extension to the station. So after all that, I hope you will continue to send in once off festival 100% Irish shows – they are really great shows. You broke a lot of new ground by recording the show at home and emailing it in, sending us the ‘One to Watch’ and the once off Vantastival and Knockanstocken Festival shows. That is in addition to presenting First Cut, hosting the Battle of the Bands in the Imperial Hotel and joining the LIVE CREW at Vantastial 2018. There will always be a slot on Dundalk FM for your next radio idea. Once, again thank you for wonderful Irish music that you have curated for the education of our listeners. Wishing you every success. Kind regards (on behalf of all your colleagues at the station) Alan Byrne Manager Congratulations to the 100% show – winner of a Craol Music Award held at the Regency Hotel 0n May 28th 2016.

The CMFE was founded to strengthen the participation of the “Third Media Sector” in European discussion and decision-making processes at a moment when freedom of expression and free access to information are increasingly endangered by the consequences of concentration in the media field. The “Third Media Sector” is made up of non profit-making media serving a local community and has as such a clearly distinct identity alongside the national public service sector and private commercial media. The CMFE is a common platform for networks, national federations and projects active within this sector. On the one hand, it enables the participating organisations to bring up their concerns on a European and international level and, on the other hand, it represents a channel through which European institutions can spread information on relevant questions to CMFE participants. The CMFE was founded on 5 November 2004 in Halle (Germany) after a series of European and international conferences held over the last two years which had made clear that there is a lack of information and participation of the Third Media Sector on a European level. As a first step in this direction the CMFE has taken part in the consultation process launched by the Council of Europe for the Ministerial Conference on Mass Media Policy in Kiev on 10–11 March 2005. The proposal of the Community Media Sector was endorsed by over 50 national federations, networks and media initiatives from throughout Europe.   www.cmfe.eu
