RTÉ ‘stars’ send the wrong signals

I FEEL compelled to express my dismay at the remuneration and work practices exercised by our state broadcaster RTÉ.

Approaching my 70th year, having never received or sought state aid or benefit, and given the current plight of many fellow-citizens, I find it increasingly unbearable to reconcile the working practices and salaries afforded to our so-called top broadcasters.

I am struck by the irony of the RTÉ News and Current Affairs department’s enthusiastic reporting and investigation of the Government’s indifference to and lack of true empathy with to the plight of many Irish people.
