Ms. Sally Galiana:

Community radio is the third sector in Irish media. It is legally defined as not-for-profit, democratically owned and controlled by local citizens. It has been established to be a community development resource. Programming is based on providing a social benefit to the community. It is designed to support local democracy, provide technological training and assist job creation.

Community radio is diversity, as members can see today. With a minimum of 40% speech, an open door policy and proactive social inclusion, a rich range of voices and perspectives from different social, economic and cultural backgrounds have a chance to express themselves and to be heard.
