Local radio keeping everyone connected on Beara peninsula

Beara Community School students Kellie and Shane O’Sullivan broadcasting live on Bere Island Community Radio. The radio station is keeping the island connected during the coronavirus lockdown.

Internet quality is often weak in this remote area, so even school is being held on the airwaves, says Michael Moynihan

One of the country’s remotest schools has refused to let the coronavirus lockdown isolate its pupils, and is relying on local radio to maintain lines of communication.
