Ms Gabrielle Cummins:

I appreciate the acknowledgement of our work and our embracing of social media. All of the commercial radio stations are members of the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland. We work effectively on collaborating on various projects, for example, the campaign to highlight the work of SpunOut and the Shona Project. Across the year, we regularly collaborate with other radio stations. With a listenership of 3.1 million people, we are a powerful medium collectively, so it is important that we collaborate where possible.

In terms of community radio stations, that is an opportunity where we can engage further. During Covid, we have often met the community sector virtually as part of events presented by the BAI. If there are further opportunities for us to collaborate with the community sector, we are open to engaging where we can.
