Officials at the Irish
Broadcasting Hall of Fame are looking for information and materials for either
a gallery or entire museum devoted to pirate broadcasting. Newsline reports that a then-unlicensed radio station broadcasting
from Dublin in 1916 played a key role in the
"Easter Rising," in which Ireland
broke away from Great
Britain. A meeting was scheduled in early
June among museum officials, broadcasters, former pirate radio employees and
radio enthusiasts to discuss what the proposed museum should collect and
display. If you have information or artifacts that might be of interest, e-mail
<irishbroadcastinghalloffame@gmail.com>.
