'While the secret nature of the payments to Tubridy evidently rankles with the hundreds who congregated this afternoon, it is clear that the dissatisfaction at RTÉ runs deeper,' writes TVsCarlKinsella from Montrose.
THE RTÉ PAYMENT scandal has brought about a moment of reckoning for the national broadcaster, with hundreds of employees taking to the grounds of Montrose to demand answers from management.
“That is unbelievable, and we all felt it was unbelievable. But we also felt it was believable too, because many of us either have personal battles in here, or we’ve seen colleagues, so we know what goes on and we know the culture of this organisation,” she said. It is fair to say that the atmosphere among Montrose’s correspondents, researchers, producers, freelancers, léiritheoirí, camera workers and clerical staff is also one of stress.
Political correspondent Paul Cunningham raised the issue of freelancers, whom he said are continually told that “take it or leave it, if you don’t like us, there’s the high road”. While the secret nature of the payments to Tubridy evidently rankles with the hundreds who congregated this afternoon, it is clear that the dissatisfaction at RTÉ runs deeper — permeating entire divisions within the organisation.
“We know for example, that there’s no crew in the midlands, there’s no crew in the northeast,” said Emma O’Kelly, with Midlands correspondent Sinead Hussey also in attendance at today’s demonstration.
