Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion
2:00 am

I noticed Ms McCarthy shaking her head when Deputy Cleere spoke about discontent in the newsroom over the new promotional video. I have worked in newsrooms over the past 30 years. I have not worked in RTÉ but I have worked in Sky News, the BBC and UTV Ireland. I know this is built on not being "us and them". It is built on good morale. There are reports of newsroom staff not being happy - in fact, the word is "livid". Is that not true?
