Let’s turn the tables on the minister and say there’s a public call for review after the minister increases pay to the RTE DG for more government favourable coverage.
As much as I dislike this P O’Donovan (he has come out with some very interesting statements over the last year..) and the RTE…
The salary of the boss of the BBC is 630-650k euro. If we want to improve the service quality (which imo has degraded so much over the last 10-15 years) they need to hire good talent.
This man is an absolute snake. First he says the whole „Plague upon their houses“ thing about League of Ireland fans, then he does this and a very good friend of mine is parliamentary assistant in the Dail and you could write a book about how much of an arsehole he is
700 million wasn’t enough for the propaganda machine. Cost of living crisis affects us all.

I’m struggling to understand the headline? It would be worse, surely, if the government withheld funding because they didn’t like the programming? The state broadcaster serves the state (the whole people of Ireland), not the government (parties currently in power).
