2.1 Procedure

Title : Broadcast Services to provide EU-related News for Local and Community Radio Stations in Ireland
Description : In the framework of its information and communication activities, the Representation in Ireland intends to sign a contract with a service supplier to provide EU-related news stories for local and community radio stations in Ireland. Whereas, in Ireland, the national news media have special editors/correspondents assigned in Brussels to cover European stories, the local media have no such facility. The latest results show 3.320 million listeners (15+) tune into radio every weekday – that is daily radio listening at 80.2% of all adults. Weekly listening increases to 91.2% of the population (source: JNLR report August 2023). Having regard to the need to improve the flow of information about the EU to the general public, the European Commission’s Representation in Ireland proposes to offer a news service on EU policies and activities for use by local and community radio stations.
