‘Late Late’ has highest food and drinks bill

It tops the ratings, so it is perhaps no surprise that The Late Late Show also has the largest food and drink bill within RTÉ.

Figures provided under Freedom of Information, show that between food and beverages — alcoholic and non-alcoholic — RTÉ’s green room hospitality cost for the world’s longest running chat show was €395 per episode, last year.

The new series of the show, hosted by Ryan Tubridy, will get underway next month.
