Better off without RTÉ big earners

SO, the thorny issue of the handsome salaries paid to RTÈ presenters raises its head yet again.

For me this issue is quite clear-cut and comes down to one thing: priorities.

Yes, the hard-pressed Irish PAYE worker has to fork out a total of €160 per year to subsidise RTÈ’s vast talent bank. Yet, I put this to the naysayers: talent doesn’t come cheap and where would we be without these stalwarts?
