    There seem to be a few more pirates springing up in the South East in the last while. For a long time it was just OpentempoFM in Waterford City, but just recently I’ve picked up a few in Carlow: Redrock Country 106.0 (been going a while according to their Facebook), Carlow FM 88.1 and something else on 93.7. Weirdly none of the Carlow pirates have RDS
    Is this all of the pirate activity in the region at the moment? Nice to see some more starting up

    Im behind Redrock Radio 106 and 93.7 redrock radio has been around for a few year while 93.7 is on and off air it will eventually be on air full time.We are in the process of putting RDS for redrock.
    There is no other pirates around that I know of

    To add to the list of pirates in the South East is an unidentified oldies station in New Ross on 105.4FM which has been around a while apparently

    Pirates are starting to make a come back in places they do a better job than main stream stations which wouldn't be hard
