Taoiseach says any RTÉ bailout will have to come with conditions

The Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting also heard requests for Transport Minister Eamon Ryan to be brought before it over the funding of road projects.

While no request has been made, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar compared any potential RTÉ bailout to those provided to both the FAI and An Post. Picture: David Creedon

Any bailout of RTÉ will come with a number of conditions, similar to the bailout given to the FAI, the Taoiseach has said.

Leo Varadkar told TDs and senators that while no request has been made, if such a bailout were ever to be agreed to, there would need to be significant conditions applied.
