It’s a proud day for 100% Irish Radio and The Creative Flow – both winners for Dundalk FM at the Craol Achievement Awards held in the Regency Hotel on 28th May. Tracey Hanby is one of Ireland’s best known Irish Music promoters. The 100% Irish Show is a National Chart of the top Irish tunes. The judges said the show was ‘innovative, well produced, stylish and, above all else, 100% Irish!’ Tracy chooses an upcoming tune called ‘One to Watch’ which is featured on Dundalk FM each day of the week. You can tune in each Tuesday at 8pm to Tracey. Jacinta Matthews is the producer and presenter of The Creative Flow which highlights local and national writers, poets and short story writers. Jacinta also has set up a vibrant Book Club as part of the show. The judges commented on the Creative Flow as being ‘a great platform for creative writers, a very engaging programme with lots of local voices’. You can listen in at 7pm on the first Wednesday of the month or email jacinta@dundalkfm.ie if you would like to take part.

The Oran Foundation was established in 2015 with the aim of fundraising for Oran and children with multiple and complex disabilities. Oran was born in 2011 with multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and an uncertain future. During difficulties and setbacks his will and spirit shine through. He has exceeded expectations and has a smile and laugh that uplifts all those around him. Oran has limitations but can continue to thrive and enjoy life with a little help from you. The primary aim of the charity is to raise funds to purchase a modified vehicle which will be adapted to enable Oran to be transported to his school and his many hospital appointments. We also want to assist the many organisations and charities who support Oran such as Suzanne House, Laura Lynn, Jack and Jill and Child Vision. Marissa Lucchesi spoke to Clodagh Culligan about their first 5 mile road run fundraiser in Stabannon on the 7th of June.

On Thursday 2nd April 2015 the Dundalk Lion’s in association with Dundalk FM ran a coffee morning. We received 120 mobile phones and some people left in a donation. Thanks to the Home Bakery for the fantastic buns and cakes, we would also like to thank Marion and all the staff of the Community Offices, for keeping us supplied with coffee and tea. If you still would like to donate your old mobile phones to this great cause, you can leave them into Dundalk FM studio.
