INN supplies a copy and audio service from its central Dublin studios via satellite, in addition to hourly news and sport bulletins that are broadcast weeknights and weekends.

History

The organisation was set up in July 1997 to replace two rival networks, FM104's Network Radio News, and Ireland Radio News (IRN), which was operated by Dublin's 98. [ [http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2008/02/10/story30301.asp Sunday Business Post Feb 10, 2008] ]

IRN came into being in November 1991 when the previous national news service - operated by Ireland's first national commercial radio station, Century Radio - was discontinued following Century's collapse.
