Two Dublin pensioners have walked away from their beloved community radio shows after they were asked to pay a members charge to volunteer at the station.
John Healy worked with Near FM, which serves the Dublin North East area, for around 10 years, first coming to the station on a CE scheme before working there on a voluntary basis for the last four years.
The 69-year-old told Dublin Live that the station brought in a rule recently asking volunteers to join a media co-op at a cost of €5 a month.
