They were voluntary redundancies with their permanent staff.
Most tv/radio presenters are on contracts I believe. Certainly the likes of Tubs, Dobbo, etc
Galway wouldn’t have won the All Ireland in 2017 only for the montage Darren Frehill made for the team which was shown on the eve of the final. Fact.
Yes, ‘voluntary’.
There’s an up and coming young journalist there called Taj Peabody. He should be given a shot

‘What I want to say to you is that Adam Rooney scored!’
RTE’s soccer correspondent and the presenter of Irish soccer matches don’t know of a player who has been in numerous Irish soccer squads.
Jacqui Burley on the radio there earlier wondered if the Ireland rugby team would be able to get the train back on the road.
She must have been referring to the bandwagon.
Whoever was commentating on the KK Clare Match on the Radio made some balls of thing.
Report just before half time had Clare leading 1-8 to 9 points. They went off around the grounds and came back to Ennis where KK had scored 2 points with no reply to close the gap to 1-8 to 8 points 
Martin Kiely i reckon
Could well have been. He’s developed a twang that makes it sound like he’s trying to impersonate a muckyheartstick
A lady, Siobhan Madigan I think, was reporting on Clare Armagh.
She made a big deal about a score which put Clare ahead but then realised that it only made it level.
Also it was only towards the end of her report that she said the opponents were Armagh. Darren who introduced her hadn’t mentioned who was playing.
It was Kiely.
