Cash-strapped RTÉ is planning to spend €1.5 million on gift vouchers for its employees over the next two years.
RTÉ expects to award a contract for the supply of vouchers at the end of next month following a competitive tendering process. The value of individual gift cards is unknown, but tender documents mention denominations of up to €1,000. Earlier this year, RTÉ published figures showing that the number of staff members earning over €100,000 had increased to 119 in 2021, including 22 employees who were paid between €150,000 and €250,000.
