No one is Leinster House will want to fuck over RTE. SF wouldnt even want to do it even though its their TD’s that normally get shouted down and interrupted whenever they are on the radio or television for interviews. That will continue because FF and FG will go in to government again and again.

Sally Hayden pointed out on social media, freelancers get paid €120 when they do a report for RTÉ Radio 1’s World Report, “which involves reporting internationally, script writing, recording, and editing”. Hayden, a contributor to The Irish Times reporting on Africa and author of the award-winning book My Fourth Time, We Drowned, said she was “not dissing World Report at all here, I love the show. Just thought the comparison might be useful.” And she’s right. It is useful. Hayden loosely estimated that the hidden payments made to Tubridy “could have funded all of the weekly RTÉ World Report freelancers’ fees for around 19 years”.
