Financially-strapped national broadcaster RTÉ has encouraged up to 70 more voluntary redundancies in January in a bid to slash further costs.

Staff were told by director-general Dee Forbes that while it was on track to deliver its cost-cutting objectives for 2020, more measures were needed next year.
