Cllr John Reilly has said he will be asking Louth County Council to erect a plaque, or another suitable form of commemoration, at Greenore Port to celebrate the remarkable story of pirate radio station, Radio Caroline, and its founder, local man Ronan O’Rahilly.



Cllr Reilly said: “Ronan O’Rahilly was a true pioneer whose vision changed the world of radio and music forever. Greenore played a central role in that history, and it’s only fitting that we recognise and commemorate this connection with pride.”

Cllr Reilly said a motion will be brought before the Louth County Council November meeting, where he hopes to gain support to honour both Ronan O’Rahilly and Greenore’s unique place in broadcasting history.
