The Irish Sun newspaper claims in a report today that traces of heroin were found on the RTÉ campus in Donnybrook.

The newspaper says that the finding was made after one of its reporters took swabs in the toilet of the main canteen yesterday.

RTÉ has urged the newspaper to make all the information and materials in its possession available to the Gardaí without delay.

RTÉ noted that the traces as described were found in a part of RTÉ's premises most frequently used by staff and by visitors to RTÉ including the general public.

The national broadcaster said it would await further information and advice and that its security staff would continue to carry out ongoing checks and tests of the RTÉ workplace.

do a test in any building around the city and you'll find traces of coke and more.

The Sun are only helping people getting on the back of RTE and feeding the hatred of the Irish people for state owed organisations.

First place to check would be their vending machines. Chock full of it!

Working there must be so bad that employees need to do heroin just to get through the day.

Wouldnt suprise me.

Who puts it on the toilet seat, surely the cistern would be more stable?

Glad to know the 160 Euro I'm forced to pay for my TV License even though I purposefully don't watch any of our useless National Stations, is being used for good in the world and not lining the pockets of Heroin abusers, and digustingly overpaid 'celebrities'.

Oh ... wait ...

FYP

state owned organisations have been abusing public money for decades - all that the Sun are doing is reminding people that they "should" dislike the current government and state owned organisations.

ilovesleep · 21-12-2010 10:27AM

rte probably gives heroin away as xmas bonuses to their employees. rte is something else thats needs removing from power. but first we have bigger problems to remove - FiannaFcukers

The licence fee has always been an issue, don't doubt that.

When the OPs opening post was this

gotta love the state of the country right now..

You can see how the media help push the mind set of the country.
Not about RTE, but about the country.

They should target Ronald McDonald next.

Find a sh*t load of heroin traces in his toilets all over the country.

Yup. FAS and a hundred quangos have been taking the piss for years, just for starters. Then there's the crazy pay for RTE presenters - what competition is driving Joe Duffy's annual contract pay over half a million? It's not like the BBC are hovering, or CBS are about to swoop...

The rubberbandits work for RTÉ, case closed.

While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with your point, do you really think The Sun gives a fcuk about the public's opinion except to jump on the bandwagon. If the country decided tomorrow that the government were actually a great bunch of lads, the Sun and its ilk would be the first to sing their praises even if nothing had actually changed.

Considering the standard of people working for the Sun, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the "journalist's" own heroin he found in the toilet.

Love the way it says...

so... basically anyone could of walked in and left whatever lying around...

big whoop de do.

Ash.J.Williams · 21-12-2010 10:58AM

Our media is in a sad state of affairs...they just find a topic on the nations mind and exploit it to the max, until someone loses their job over something mundane that generally nobody cares about.

Ferguso · 21-12-2010 11:01AM

The standard of people working the Sun??? What sort of thing is that to say? Slanderous I'd say.
Story is legit enough as far as I can tell. After everything that has happened in the past couple of weeks and the stories in the Sunday newspapers, it was only a matter of time before a paper did drug test swabs in RTE. The only surprise is that heroin was found and not cocaine.

I never said it wasn't legit, I just said I wouldn't be surprised. It's not like they've never "exaggerated" a story before. How is it slanderous to say the journalists working for the Sun are crap? You'd get better news coverage from a drunk 2 year old.
