Episode Details

RTÉ’s director general, Kevin Bakhurst, has shut down rumors that the planned expansion of production in Cork is falling through — confirming the move is still on track for 2027. Despite earlier concerns sparked by talks with Cork City Council, Bakhurst reassured staff that RTÉ remains actively hunting for the ideal new location, even sharing he’d recently been in Cork scouting options. The expansion, part of RTÉ’s five-year strategy, aims to boost regional programming and grow the Cork team from 50 to more, moving out of its aging 30-year-old facility. Bakhurst stressed that patience is key — finding the right premises matters more than speed — and that RTÉ’s commitment to Cork’s future is unwavering.
