Coimisiún na Meán opens €550k fund for media training

Coimisiún na Meán has opened the first round of its new Media Skills and Development Programme, offering up to €550,000 in funding for training, learning and development in Ireland’s media sector.
The scheme replaces the long-running Sectoral Learning and Development Programme and reflects An Coimisiún’s wider role in supporting a sustainable, diverse and participative media landscape.
Media Development Commissioner Rónán Ó Domhnaill said the initiative would help the sector adapt to new technologies and audience needs. “Continued upskilling and reskilling is crucial to facilitate the innovation necessary to enable the media sector to adapt to emerging technologies and meet the needs of audiences,” he said. “This new Programme aims to support activities that maximise impact and encourage cooperation, collaboration and partnership.”
Funding will continue to support community media, commercial radio, Irish language media and diversity initiatives, as well as training to address skills shortages or provide professional development opportunities.
Previous recipients of similar funding include CRAOL, Oireachtas na Gaeilge, Cultural and Creative Industries Skillsnet, GORM Media, Learning Waves and Women in Film and Television.
Applications close at midday on 10 November 2025, and full details including policy and application forms are available on the Coimisiún na Meán website at cnam.ie

Radio presenters reunite to support air ambulance

Former Heart presenter John Darin has teamed up with broadcaster Chris Brooks to support the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance this Christmas.
The pair recently reunited to film a special video appeal highlighting the charity’s lifesaving work. It includes an emotional interview with Peter and Becky, a couple from the region who share how the Air Ambulance crew saved Peter’s life after a serious accident.
John, now presenting on Broadland, joined Chris at the charity’s air base to meet some of the medical team involved in Peter’s rescue. The project aims to raise awareness and encourage donations for the service, which relies entirely on public support to continue its operations.
Chris said: “It was a real privilege to meet the people behind this amazing service and to hear first-hand how quickly they can make the difference between life and death.”
Essex and Herts Air Ambulance responds to hundreds of emergency calls each year, providing advanced critical care at the scene of serious incidents across the region.
The presenters hope their video will inspire others to support the charity’s Christmas fundraising efforts and remind people of the crucial role the air ambulance plays in saving lives every day.
