If additional shows are requested by RTÉ, they’ll be paid on a pro-rata basis. “The contract allows me to submit flight and accommodation expenses, but I’ve waived this. I’ve made it clear to RTE that I will be covering my own flights and accommodation costs.“I genuinely hope this helps clarify things going forward. I can’t wait to get started.”
