It’s not possible to continue as we are, says RTÉ boss

RTÉ is facing an unprecedented financial crisis and staff have been warned that its capacity to deliver its public responsibilities is “severely compromised”.

In a note to staff, RTÉ director-general Dee Forbes warned that RTÉ will face continued pressure as a result of commercial revenues and public funding remaining “significantly below” what is needed to operate RTÉ in its current form.
