Sherwin retains prime RTÉ slot

RUGBY commentator Jim Sherwin is to retain his number one slot with RTÉ. Mr Sherwin and RTÉ announced yesterday that legal proceedings that he initiated had been settled.

In a brief statement, RTÉ confirmed that Mr Sherwin would continue in his position as lead rugby commentator for the remainder of his three-year contract that still has a year and nine months to run.

The action was settled out of court. Mr Sherwin had continued to work for RTÉ after beginning High Court proceedings last March.
