RTÉ’s new boss has guaranteed the Cork studios will remain open, although a move within the city is possible as he plans to view two potential new studio premises on Wednesday.

Kevin Bakhurst said he would “like to do more rather than less” work from Cork, despite some concerns cutbacks at the broadcaster could lead to shuttered regional studios.
