Since their inception, Flirt FM has won multiple prizes in the annual Community Radio Ireland (Craol) Achievement awards, which recognise quality in production of community radio in Ireland.

This year Flirt FM took home two gold awards at the Annual Community Radio Ireland Achievement Awards that took place on the 27th of October 2022 in the Connaught Hotel, Galway.

In the category of Creativity and Effectiveness – Value to the Community, Vusi Thabethe won a gold award with his weekly show ‘Vusi Bop’. The judges said that the show had ‘ a fascinating insight into the lives and experiences of some of the newer arrivals to Galway City’. The show was also praised for its ability to ‘introduce a diverse range of new members of Galway community to each other and to the wider student community’.

In the category of Social Benefit- Talk, Rose Foley & Lorraine Lally won a gold award for their International day of People with Disability (IDPWD) Community Takeover show. The judges said that the program ‘ gives a voice to people with disabilities which is of great social benefit’.

Station Manager of Flirt FM, Paula Healy said ‘ After a rough couple of years it’s nice to be reminded of the creativity, dedication and social impact of our volunteers and the shows that they make. The two awards represent just a fraction of the work that goes on in the station and the people that make Flirt FM what it is.’
