If you're in the business of long-running drama, RTÉ is the place to be. Unfortunately for the national broadcaster, it has been the subject and not the vehicle for that drama for another week and, boy, did it have everything.
RTÉ staff awoke on Sunday morning to a newspaper front page warning of 400 layoffs, a complete division between commercial and public broadcasting, and 2FM being sold off to the highest bidder.
