Ann-Marie Power says: “This annual fund is a great way for RTÉ to engage with the independent radio production sector in Ireland. We have put out a variety of interesting commissioning briefs to populate our schedules in 2016 and we’re hoping great programmes will come of these and see a new generation of talent developed; moments of radio gold all while creating employment and opportunities within the independent media production industry.”
