RTÉ planning €360m revamp

A €360 MILLION redevelopment of the RTÉ Montrose site will be funded mainly through borrowing and the rental of offices and residences at the broadcasting hub.

The national broadcaster yesterday unveiled an ambitious 15-year plan to put in place the sort of modern facilities necessary for the digital age.

The bulldozing of landmark buildings at the Donnybrook studios is expected to begin in late 2011, if planning permission is secured.
