RONAN O'RAHILLY

'Ronan O'Rahilly' is an Irish businessman best known as the founder of pirate radio station Radio Caroline which broadcast from a ship anchored in international waters off the coast of Essex, southeast England^[1][2].
Prior to his involvement with Radio Caroline, O'Rahilly ran a nightclub in London's Soho district and managed a number of pop music artists including Georgie Fame. He later became involved in the production of a number of films.
In the 1970s O'Rahilly, noticing that people "found it easier to talk about hate than love", developed the philosophy of "Loving Awareness", which has been heavily promoted on Caroline ever since. In 1976 an album of songs based on the concept was recorded by the Loving Awareness Band, a group assembled by O'Rahilly for the purpose.
O'Rahilly's parents owned the port of Greenore in Carlingford Lough County Louth, and his grandfather Michael Joseph O'Rahilly was notably killed in the Easter 1916 Irish Nationalist rebellion in Dublin.
