RTÉ should decentralise to Athlone, says singer

MUSICIAN and Fianna Fáil councillor, TR Dallas, wants the Government to decentralise RTÉ to Athlone.

Dallas, also known as Councillor Tom Allen, says millions could be saved by selling RTÉ’s Donnybrook studios and moving it “lock, stock and barrel” to the midlands.

He believes relocating RTÉ’s 1,500 staff could solve the financial problems of the cash-strapped station.
