"Ireland in Arabic", is the first independent media platform in the Arabic language in Ireland, launched in 2017 as an experimental and official way from 2022 on a news site. After achieving the desire of the Arab public to have Arabic-speaking content, we launched the radio intermittently due to poor financial capabilities and equipment.
Ireland in Arabic aims to combat fake news and provide a detailed explanation of life in Ireland for vulnerable Arab immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers to help them integrate into the new society, in addition to introducing Arabic speakers outside Ireland to all aspects of life in it by publishing news on a daily basis as well as publishing reports about tourism, economy, laws, constitution and political system in the country.
The radio was also allocated to broadcast programs targeting Arabs inside Ireland through: (teaching English - explaining aspects of life in Ireland in detail - explaining important information about the Covid-19 pandemic and educating the Arab community about it- combating misleading news and false information- entertainment and social programs ) and other programs for Arabs in Abroad talking about Ireland and life in it by targeting specific groups, for example dedicating a program to the Gulf region through a Gulf male or female broadcaster for all those wishing to study or invest in Ireland, as well as to North African countries with the aim of delivering information to the target group in their mother tongue.
As for the news website, it provides a news service around the clock by a team that translates news of interest to immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers from Irish sites to keep them well informed of all the events that are taking place around them, in addition to providing translated reports on newly issued laws, explaining the laws, the constitution and the political system, and dealing with Banks and the country's tax system to help them integrate into society faster.
