RTÉ to consider Montrose land sale

RTÉ management is due to make a decision in the next few months over the potential sale of some or all of its valuable Montrose campus.

In the station’s soon-to-be published Statement of Strategy 2015-2019, RTÉ said decisions regarding the future of its property assets would be made early in the period covered by the document.

Over the past year, the State broadcaster has been examining ways of raising additional sources of funding in response to seeing its annual revenue fall by 26% since the start of the economic downturn.
