RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

GAA Go is okay actually.

It is the literal definition of basic. But that is fine.

I bought an MPEG-4 capable TV when we switched to digital, cost me the guts of a grand. Absolutely nothing wrong with the TV it replaced, I don't think a receiver with a reader would be prohibit ably expensive.

Either way sub based RTE going forward would be outside the public service remit, you could make it entirely internet based.

Also I am not suggesting we have in place by next Tuesday.

But the way forward seems to be status quo we are already 25 miles behind in this marathon. Won't work.

Just listening to the rte news piece about this plan.

It's all buzz words and clichés.

You could nearly bet your house on very little of it ever being implemented.

Was thinking the same. I'm sure I've heard it all before. RTE's biggest issue is lack of governance. It's a free spender without consequence. I didn't hear anything in the plan about how to address this. Who is to say they will actually follow any of the plan at all. Not trust worthy and it has been proved many times in the PAC.

I don't understand how they would save money by scrapping these channels. There is no new content on them.

I doubt the content will suffer at all Sarah

Jane Suiter once again bringing up the dreadful media in America every time RTE is discussed.

A gigantic country with no comparison with us whatsoever.

Seriously is there actually any chance this woman will ever be questioned on her part in all of this?

It is incredible that someone like this can just brazen it out without a care in the world.

How is such a lack of accountability allowed?

I just hope Dee Forbes is compelled at some stage to explain her actions but the longer she brazens it out the more likely it is that she will slip out of the limelight…….but continue to reap the rich rewards that her public role provided. Crazy situation.

I would like to see the costing for cutting thos channels. Exactly how much it will save.

It sounds impressive on paper, but it will be a drop in the ocean to what savings are really needed.

Investment in technology including leveraging AI - but no mention of how or why.

Additional investment in regional offices such as Galway and Cork, but not selling Donnybrook. Well, if they aren't selling Donnybrook, what are the regional offices going to be doing? Galway was in the news yesterday due to the effects of the storm, which thankfully is a rare occurrence. Not a whole lot of news happens in Galway, and galway city is just over a 2.5 hour drive from Dublin. Any other "company" with this kind of money issue, their first move would be to sell off the small regional offices and consolidate into the HQ.

didn't Tubs make an awful mess for himself..

idiot

I don't think RTE has reflected what an absolute joke this plan is.

There will be no redundancies for ages and ages, if at all.

No hard coverage of this plan from RTE which is loss making and a burden on the state. This bailout money could be spent elsewhere.

Slightly off topic. I found a reciept for the TV license in my fathers house yesterday from 2017. It really, really irked me. Why did it irk me? You may ask. Because he had been exempt from paying the TV License for the past ten years previosuly.

It’s a 56 million euro bailout for an insolvent company

can we all just keep to the FACTS

they love TRUTHS
