The Leader, Nollaig 1988

THE MAN BEHIND THE VOICE 4 SEAMUS GIBSON - DONEGAL COMMUNITY RADIO "This is Seamus Gibson with the OCR news...' has been a familiar daily introduction to Donegal Community Ra,dio's news reports for the past three years. Seamus who hails from Castletown Street in St. Johnston has been with the station from the start, keeping us informed of international, national and local news between 9.00am and 6.00pm every day.
