Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe has said any details of redundancy packages offered to RTÉ staff must be consistent with similar public service exit schemes.

Speaking to reporters today, he said how RTÉ puts together its packages is a matter for the broadcaster, but he would have to see the schemes being proposed.
