RTÉ’s new strategic plan will present “many challenges for staff and must be subject to intense scrutiny and negotiation”, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has said.

The union said it would, in common with sister unions in the RTÉ group of unions, be taking time to scrutinise the proposals, but said it had deep reservations on the approach taken by director general Kevin Bakhurst and the RTÉ board to the future of the organisation.
