RTÉ redundancy scheme to open this month with payments capped at €300,000 

It comes after the Government gave the broadcaster the green light last month to press ahead with its voluntary redundancy plan aimed at cutting costs.

Staff at broadcaster RTÉ have been told that its redundancy scheme will open later this month, with payments set to be capped at €300,000.

In an update to workers on Wednesday, RTÉ’s HR director Eimear Cusack said it is planned to open the redundancy scheme after the Easter weekend with Wednesday, April 23 set to be the date “provided all necessary materials have been finalised”.
