    Excellent news - the sooner that RTÉ goes off the air permanently the better

    If RTE had more balanced broadcasting, instead of being a puppet for government they might be in better circumstances.

    Not a cent of taxpayer’s money should be given to RTE until a through revenue audit is done on the this organisation and tax paid on freebies which are ‘ benefits in kind ‘. Anybody in private organisations who get get benefit in kind pay TAX to the revenue . That’s the way the world works for ordinary citizens.

    Chances of HMG putting Paddy in charge of the BBC is zero yet we have this non national as our mouthpiece for our government. Once again no irish need apply. One would love to know more about relationship D4orbes and others have with this individual.
    Meanwhile Spin Feign is happy with this appointment just like they are with the AnGS chief.

    Here’s an idea, why not tap into the millions of Irish overseas. Adjust your RTE player app so people overseas can pay a small fee to watch content from overseas. There some additional income. No it’s just easier to put you hands out to the government like a small child to it parents.

    In some European countries TV funds are collected by a small €2/€3 per electricity bill as a national broadcasting charge. It’s fair because every building pays it. It’s €30 a year and equally distributed. They can also advertise. But that’s it. Not a penny more tax payer money and none of their broadcasters are paid more than €100k. RTÉ and the way it’s run is a disgusting state propaganda and cash cow for a small group of people.

    A very bad day at the office for Mr Bakhurst. A moral obligation to protect the integrity of RTE? RTE'S Integrity is in tatters already. He refers to the independence of RTE, well could I remind him that RTE is NOT independent. RTE is beholden to the tax payers of this country who have been bankrolling this circus of an organisation for far too long despite getting very poor value in return, and the licence fee payers who must now be wondering why they should any longer pay for the waste and lavish spending and exorbitant salaries of those who work at the Montrose country club. They got away with it for long enough, but it's over now.
