This amendment would introduce obligations regarding the rates of pay for RTÉ employees. The independence of RTÉ in operational matters is provided for in legislation and I do not believe it is appropriate to introduce legislative provisions in this regard. RTÉ is currently undertaking a review of the staff grading structures across the organisation and services. If there are any discrepancies with regard to equal pay for equal work, I expect them to be identified and rectified through this process.
