RTÉ may sell off HQ to fund investment

The head of RTÉ has suggested its Donnybrook site could be sold off to fund investment in broadcasting.

In her first public engagement with politicians, RTÉ director general Dee Forbes said the State broadcaster is under “very serious financial strain” and this has been exacerbated by Brexit.

With income from advertising plummeting, she hinted that part of the station’s Montrose site could be used to fund capital investment in television, radio, and online services.
