RTÉ will be Ireland’s “primary streaming service” under “ambitious” new plans, according to its Director General.
“Then there was a TV era, and this is the digital era, this is how we will deliver great content for audiences in the digital era.”The Director General said RTÉ must “demonstrate really robust financial management transparency”.
“At the end of this five-year plan, we've done the numbers, and RTÉ will be a sustainable organisation financially.The RTÉ Montrose campus in Donnybrook, Dublin, 24-08-2009.

“So, we’ve chosen not to spend a huge amount of money on the buildings and instead spend it on more brilliant content, high-quality news, current affairs, drama and investigations.”“It will provide a much better digital platform for our audience who are not just consuming our linear existing radio stations, but on-demand content too like podcasts,” he said.
