Abbeyfeale and District News Round-Up

West Limerick 102FM needs the support of the locality and station running participation from its pool of listeners.

West Limerick Community Radio Needs Your Support

WL102fm has provided a great service throughout West Limerick since the lock-down began.

Advertising and fundraising pay their expenses and like everyone else they need money to survive.

Please buy a ticket for their weekly draw and help them stay on air – it’s as simple as that – you’ll never miss the water ‘til the well runs dry.

Tickets are on sale  at Ann Lyons’s, The Square for €2 each.  Please be generous in your support.  They also need volunteers to help run the station.

The station can be contacted on 087 166 9 800 or 069 66200 or at: WL102fm, Enterprise Centre, Sheehan’s Road, Newcastle West.
