I am all for talent getting rewarded but can I ask who is going to try to poach anyone there? Marian coughs her way through two chats a week.
Even more amazed that George Hamilton, who I like, is on that. What does he actually do??

There needs to be a clear-out and a new generation on 50% less brought in.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

There is a girl currently presenting the lottery show that looks a lot like Biddy and Miley's daughter from 20 years ago. Anybody seen this?

How much is my friend Sharon Ni Bheolain getting?


Bord na Mona man

Does George Hamilton have to turn up at work every day, even though he could go weeks without a commentary gig?

Aristo 60

It is Biddy and Miley's daughter. Has she been on the payroll for the 20 years interim  ;D

I'd expect that RTE's bean counters have very much worked out what is a sustainable salary vs advertising revenue for their star celebrities.

Ray D'Arcy steals a f*cking living. 🤬🤬🤬

Aristo 60

He steals about 14 livings!

Back during the boom PK took home 950k and Gerry Ryan 676k and trickled down (if thats the right term) handsomely after that. The comparison to their only Irish rival - TV3 - was stark to say the least.

What is the justification for these salaries?  As the OP says, it can't be to 'keep the talent' cos no TV company whatsoever would shell out 400-500k for plonkers like D'Arcy, Tubs or Duffy.

Offer them 100k each and let them fcuk off into the sunset if they don't like it.

So what? I'm sure everyone here is trying to get paid as well as possible. And the usual solution applies - if you think they're overpaid, apply for their job...

Straw man city here.

I'd rather apply for their boss's job to be honest...

Do, then maybe you wouldn't run round giving out about what other people earn

I see Buff Egan finds it all DISGRACEFUL.

Thoroughly entertaining stuff.

Jesus, I've hit a nerve here anyway!  Why does that annoy you so much?  Do you find it offensive or what?

I see it as being the same as the government overpaying for any service... it should be stopped.

Would I be allowed to comment if the company that supplied the cameras had stroked RTE also?  Or is it just cos these jokers have got a face/voice that you recognise??

haranguerer

I hardly recognise any of them, and I've very little time for those I do (altho 'danger here' george is associated with many great memories).

I just resent the ever more common hypocritical populist outcry over other peoples wealth.
