RTÉ 'can't overstate' importance of Fair City photographer as it clarifies €240k contract

RTÉ said “popular soaps, such as Fair City, with multiple characters and multiple unfolding storylines have a sustained need for high-quality imagery across the year”.

RTÉ has moved to clarify the nature of a contract for a photographer to capture stills of long-running soap opera Fair City, and said it “cannot overstate” the importance of that role.

Earlier this week the Irish Examiner revealed that the public broadcaster was to spend €240,000 retaining a professional photographer to capture still images of the soap while in production.
