All RTÉ staff earning over €40,000 a year are facing pay cuts of between 3% and 5% under the revised terms of a "stability agreement" which is now set to be put to staff for ballot.

The pay cuts are part of a raft of measures the broadcaster says it needs to introduce in a bid to reduce costs by €60m over three years.
