    RTE flies ad executives to Japan for World Cup. Front of the Sindo, more controversy for RTE. Their pleas for money are not credible with such wastage.

    RTE also flew a Commentators, sound engineers, camera people to Japan when, as seen with today when the commentary went down, they could have just used the World Feed Commentary which had Eddie Buttler.

    The cost of sending Commentators out and putting them up in hotels for nearly 2 months will cost them easily 6 figures.

    They appear to be only showing the Ireland games for the group stages, do all the staff they flew over sit around playing cards for the gap in the 5-7 days that we play?

    Certainly Not!!! Many of them will use their Per Diem payments for a Rub n' Tug.

    Yes of course considering the vast majority of domestic current affairs broadcasting across TV / radio is brought to us by RTÉ.

    This. I couldn't care less if they dropped all scripted programming but their output of documentaries and news are vitally important.

    I'd also say that various chat shows like the Late Late, while often not the most riveting interviews on TV, serve a purpose of maintaining a little bit of unique modern popular culture that is not completely consumed by US / UK stuff.

    Paschal Sheey reporting on a Turkish asylum seeker opening a barber shop in Castlerea and how immigration is a complete success. Of course I'd miss RTÉ.

    He should go back to where he came from.

    I refer, of course, to Paschal Sheehy, who has no business being anywhere north of Cork.

    I only got an internal antenna last week as my mother was visiting so she wouldn't miss The Late Late Show or something. Haven't had the ability to see RTE for about 2 years previously which is why I am so p*ssed about paying the license.

    I know some are going to say it supports the national concert hall and all that which is fine if I didn't have to pay 50 quid each for a ticket for me and a friend to see something there recently.
