Unions at RTÉ have been assessing plans announced by the broadcaster yesterday that would see a reduction in the workforce and the production of some programmes being moved off site.
SIPTU, which represents 700 employees in RTÉ, said its members were shocked and surprised at the announcement, while the National Union of Journalists said the plan would present many challenges for staff at RTÉ and must be subject to intense scrutiny and negotiation. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Mannion has said the broadcaster needed to be more transparent about how the Late Late Show and Fair City will be produced.
NUJ Irish Secretary Séamus Dooley expressed grave reservations initially at the approach taken by Mr Bakhurst and the RTÉ Board on the future of the organisation.
