RTÉ has faced significant challenges, including a write-off of €3.6 million attributed to a partly-failed IT system. Director General Kevin Bakhurst expressed that poor communication between the executive team and the board exacerbated these issues. Additionally, RTÉ anticipates voluntary exit packages costing around €15 million as it continues to navigate declining license fee earnings and examine governance within the organization. The leadership team is set to address these matters before the Oireachtas Media Committee in an effort to clarify policy and expenditures.
Communication between the executive and RTÉ board was not good at time of IT system failure, affecting the handling of significant financial losses.
RTÉ estimates its voluntary exit package will cost about €15 million amid ongoing challenges related to governance and expenditure.
