An RTÉ presenter heard management discussing how they should only use a video editor “as a last resort” for shift work after she pushed to be given a permanent contract, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has heard.

Radio presenter Colm Ó Mongáin told a €360,000 bogus self-employment hearing he heard the relevant conversation in an RTÉ corridor in 2008 after his colleague Maebh Keary Di Lucia had petitioned the station’s management to be given a contract as she was working more hours than the full-time staff covering her position.
