Autumn shortfalls at RTÉ expected to grow but Ministers wary of ‘blank cheque’ approach to problem
The broadcaster was already facing a financial crisis before its income from the licence fee was hit in the wake of the revelations over secret payments to Ryan Tubridy. A series of investigations into the RTÉ scandals is continuing, and RTÉ executives and board members are due before the Oireachtas Committee on Media next week.
Other sources say that there will have to be a commitment at RTÉ to a programme of cost-cutting before any additional Government support is available. Ministers are also set to approve a new forestry strategy brought forward by Ms Hackett on Wednesday.
