RTÉ’s latest annual report reveals a healthy €22.5 million surplus, up sharply from last year’s €5.5 million, despite ongoing challenges with TV licence fee income and rising costs. Top executives, including the director general earning €339,538, are drawing hefty salaries, sparking debate as the government backs RTÉ with a massive €725 million package. The broadcaster also cut 67 jobs through a €8.5 million voluntary exit program, signaling a push for long-term sustainability. Taoiseach warns that while talent deserves reward, wages must remain reasonable — a balancing act as RTÉ strives to deliver quality content without straining public trust or finances.
