RTÉ staff fear decision on future of regional offices

RTÉ is expected to make a decision on the future of its regional network of studios within the next two weeks.

Staff in regional offices are understood to be worried that RTÉ management will refuse to negotiate on any cuts or changes due to be made to regional reporting, staff levels and programme making, and angry about the level of consultation to date.

The national broadcaster confirmed in March it is to shut its London bureau as it seeks cuts of up to €25m by the end of next year.
