Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Budgetary Position and Editorial Policy: Discussion with RTE

11:25 am

Ms Breda O'Keeffe:

Going back to the question of dual contracts, with separate contracts for television and radio, under the current renegotiations, we have ensured in all cases that there is a single contract to cover all services. If a presenter or top talent is providing both radio and television services, we encompass them in one contract. That was not always the case in the past, but in the earnings we disclosed in March both services are covered for presenters who provide services across both.
