The commitment by RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst that no one will have a salary higher than his will mean a number of top presenters will face wage cuts.

At a town hall meeting of staff to discuss the broadcaster's new strategic plan on Tuesday, it is believed that Mr Bakhurst noted that a pay cap of €250,000 — which is his current salary — was to be introduced at the broadcaster.
