RTÉ string quartet victims of ‘shabby stuff’

RTÉ’s performing groups, like so many others, have accepted the inevitability of pay cuts.

In the case of its two orchestras and two choirs, these have been of the order of 5%.

However, is it not grossly unfair that the fifth group – the four members of the Cork-based RTÉ Vanbrugh String Quartet – are to have their presumably modest stipend reduced by no less than 40%?
