So, who's really making all the money at RTÉ? Traditionally, it's been the on-air talent leading the earnings table. This year, however, there's been a shake-up: the executives/suits are now outpacing the stars on the payscale. But with Newstalk snapping up big-name presenters, could RTÉ's pay cuts signal the start of a slide? And as fresh revelations emerge about unorthodox payments, is another storm brewing over the national broadcaster's headquarters? ­ This podcast has been amended on 31 October 2025 to remove the incorrect statement that the 725m three-year Government funding plan for RTE is in addition to TV license fee revenueSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 31ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 tháinig sé amach go raibh Samantha Nolan ar ais lena chlann I mBaile Átha Cliath tar éis obráid a shábháil a shaol. I 2003 tháinig sé amach go raibh RTÉ chun thaispeáin a lán sacar príomhroinn tar éis a rinne siad margadh chun thaispeáin cluichí gach Sathairn do trí shraith. I 1970 bhí méadú den cháin bhóthair sa bhuiséid nua. Bhí an méadú ann do fheithicil príobháideach, cáin ar só agus cáin do chomhlachtaí. Sin na rudaí a tháinig an aire airgeadas amach leis sa Dáil. I 2003 bhí bagairt ann go mbeadh ardú de na praghas de thí nua timpeall an tír ach tháinig Comhairleoir timpeall an chontae amach nach mbeidís chun é seo a dhéanamh. Tháinig siad amach ag moladh tobhach nua. Sin Fatman Scoop le Be Faithful – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2003. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2005 dhíol siad culaith a chaith John Lennon ar an chlúdaigh den albam Abbey Road, I gceant do 118 míle dollar I Los Vegas. Dhíol siad Austin Princess a thiomáin John Lennon sa scannán faisnéise Imagine, do 150 míle dollar. Chuaigh cuid den airgead go dtí Amnesty International. I 2007 chabhraigh Leona Lewis leis an íoslódáil ar líne sa Bhreatain mar íoslódáil timpeall 1.7 milliúin daoine amhráin éagsúla I seachtain amháin. Dhíol Leona Lewis níos mó ná 106 míle íoslódáil de a amhrán Bleeding Love. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh giotáraí Johnny Marr sa Bhreatain I 1963 agus rugadh amhránaí Vanilla Ice I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1967 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Agus sin é I gcóir Ar An Lá Seo – go raibh míle maith agaibh as éisteacht do bhliain ar fad agus is féidir libh dul ar clare.fm chun éisteacht siar ar aon dóibh. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 31st of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Little Samantha Nolan was back in the arms of her family in Dublin after an operation that has probably saved her life. 2003: A feast of live premiership football was being promised by RTE after it secured a deal to screen Saturday afternoon matches for the next 3 seasons. 1970: Car owners were hit in the budget after An increase in the cost of road tax on private vehicles, wholesale tax on luxuries and direct taxation of companies were the features of the supplementary budget brought into Dáil Eireann by the new minister of finance. 2003: The threat of massive hikes in the price of new housing across the country was removed by Clare County Councilors when they rejected the draft scheme proposing a range of new levies at their adjourned October meeting. That was Fatman Scoop with Be Faithful – the biggest song on this day in 2003 Onto music news on this day In 2005 The white suit worn by John Lennon on the cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road album sold for $118,000 (£66,385) at an auction in Las Vegas. And an Austin Princess hearse driven by the late star in the documentary Imagine sold for $150,000 (£84,388). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the items went to Amnesty International. 2007 22-year-old X Factor winner singer Leona Lewis helped boost UK online music downloads to a record 1.7 million in one week making it the biggest week ever for download sales. Lewis sold more than 106,000 downloads of her track ‘Bleeding Love.' And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – guitarist Johnny Marr was born in the UK in 1963 and singer Vanilla Ice was born in America on this day in 1967 and this is one of his songs. And that ends our amazing Ar An Lá Seo over the last year – thank you so much for listening and to listen back to any of them you can head on over to our website clare.fm.

The small Irish town of Tuam is home to one of Ireland's most shocking secrets. During the 20th century, thousands of children born out of wedlock were taken from their mothers, branded the 'children of sin' and sent to institutions run by nuns. At St Mary's, it's claimed 800 died of preventable causes, their remains discarded. Now, following a decade-long campaign for justice, an excavation has begun. Will it finally uncover the truth?

In this Film Ireland podcast, Conor Bryce talks to Writer Rodney Lee & Director Bonnie Dempsey about their live-action family thriller TV series 'The Unreal'. Originally commissioned by RTE, series 2 begins airing October 26th. In the first series, the Kelly family discovered they were actually fictional characters who had escaped from a 1980s TV sitcom into the real world. Now, one year later, the Kellys are just trying to live a normal life. But when they visit a spooky, run-down hotel to attend an 80s Video Collectors Fair, they get more than they bargained for. Kevin catches glimpses of a ghostly boy and the family decide to go ghost-hunting. But when Kevin eventually comes face-to-face with the apparition, he makes a startling discovery; the ghost looks exactly like him! In Irish folklore, a ghostly doppelganger is known as a ‘Fetch' and if you see one, legend has it you may soon meet a deadly fate… This is just the beginning of a supernatural comedy adventure as the Kellys uncover strange secrets, confront their fears, and fight to survive in a world where the line between real and unreal becomes increasingly blurred. Written by Rodney Lee, directed by Bonnie Dempsey, and produced by Nuala Carr and David O'Sullivan of Dyehouse Films Starring - Senan Jennings ( Kevin ) Joseph McKucken ( Tom ) Kathryn McKiernan ( Mary ) Kate Brady ( Katie ) with Patrick McDonnell, Daniel Nwambu ( Leo ) Lorena Montes and Don King Roganvilla

C'est une annonce qui souffle un vent d'optimisme sur la transition énergétique française. Le mercredi 24 septembre, TotalEnergies a décroché le plus grand projet d'éolien offshore jamais attribué dans l'Hexagone. Le groupe a été désigné lauréat d'un appel d'offres historique lancé par l'État pour un parc en mer d'une capacité colossale de 1,5 gigawatt — l'équivalent d'un réacteur nucléaire moderne.Ce géant des mers prendra place au large de la Normandie, à plus de 40 kilomètres des côtes. Baptisé Centre Manche 2, le futur parc profitera de vents réguliers et puissants, idéaux pour une production continue d'électricité verte. À pleine puissance, il devrait générer 6 térawattheures par an, soit plus que la consommation annuelle de Lyon et Marseille réunies. En clair, plus d'un million de foyers français verront leurs ampoules et leurs radiateurs fonctionner grâce à ce seul projet. Le tarif négocié de 66 euros le mégawatt-heure place cette énergie renouvelable dans une zone de compétitivité directe avec les sources conventionnelles. Mais un chantier d'une telle ampleur prend du temps : les études techniques s'achèveront en 2029, pour une mise en service prévue en 2033, en coordination avec RTE, le gestionnaire du réseau électrique national.Avec 4,5 milliards d'euros d'investissement, TotalEnergies signe là son plus gros projet en France depuis trente ans. Le groupe, historiquement pétrolier, confirme ainsi sa mue vers les renouvelables. L'impact local s'annonce considérable : 2 500 emplois mobilisés pendant trois ans, dont une partie dédiée à la formation de la main-d'œuvre normande, grâce à 500 000 heures de formation promises aux apprentis et personnes en reconversion. Enfin, pour répondre aux enjeux écologiques, TotalEnergies consacre 60 millions d'euros à la protection de la biodiversité marine et aux compensations environnementales. Entre ambitions industrielles et responsabilité écologique, ce chantier marque une étape décisive : la France s'offre enfin un champion de l'éolien en mer capable de rivaliser avec les grands parcs du Nord de l'Europe.

Evelyn O'Rourke, Arts and Media Correspondent, reports on Newstalk presenter Kieran Cuddihy's departure from the commercial station to join rival broadcaster RTE.

It's been a dramatic few days in Ireland's biggest radio stations, RTÉ and Newstalk. On Thursday afternoon, it was announced Ray D'Arcy was gone from RTÉ Radio 1 after 11 years, without saying goodbye to his listeners. In a statement he said he was “hugely disappointed” in how management handled his departure. Just hours later, across the city, Newstalk staff were told host of the Hard Shoulder Kieran Cuddihy was leaving the station for RTE. And now we know after months of speculation that he will pick up the live line mantle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In what is being called an "opportunity to regularise employment misclassification" the Revenue Commissioners are to grant a two year amnesty to employers who engaged in bogus self employment. The repercussions this will have for the workers (across many industries) who have been denied benefits, entitlements and pay for the years outside of this 'opportunity' seem not to matter a jot. To add insult to injury it turns out that Arthur Cox, the legal firm representing RTE against bogus self employed workers, is using this “opportunity” as a marketing tool for their business.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! Avoir l'électricité chez soi, aujourd'hui, ça paraît carrément naturel. Et quand il y a une coupure, on est souvent les premiers à râler ! Mais il y a une petite centaine d'années, c'était tout le contraire ! Et c'est de ça dont je vous propose de parler dans un nouvel entretien : non pas de coupure de courant, mais de l'histoire de l'acheminement de l'électricité ! On y pense pas forcément comme ça, mais vous allez l'entendre, c'est super intéressant ! Et pour découvrir cette histoire, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Jordane Provost, un historien qui a beaucoup travaillé sur le sujet ! Il est aujourd'hui Responsable d'études en Recherche et Développement, Énergie, Réseau et Société chez RTE, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité, qui est le partenaire de cet entretien et que je remercie ! Bref, il est temps de vous mettre au jus de cette histoire passionnante… Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute sur Nota Bene !

Gift Grub investigates.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! Aujourd'hui, l'électricité est partout dans nos vies. Si elle n'était pas amenée de son lieu de production jusqu'à chez nous, notre quotidien serait bien différent ! Mais d'ailleurs, depuis quand on la transporte, cette électricité, et grâce à quels moyens ? Comment est-elle progressivement arrivée dans la vie de nos ancêtres tout au long du 20e siècle ? C'est ce que je vous propose de découvrir dans un nouvel entretien avec Jordane Provost, un spécialiste de la question, et en collaboration avec RTE, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité ! Enfin plus exactement, cet entretien sera disponible sur le podcast d'ici quelques jours. Pour l'heure, je vous propose de revenir sur un événement central de l'histoire du transport de l'électricité en France : les tempêtes de la fin de l'année 1999, qui ont bien mis à mal les installations du réseau… Je n'en dis pas plus, bonne écoute !

Eileen Magnier spent 35 years as RTE's North west correspondent, and in that time she covered an incredible number of stories of all different kinds. It was a job that she loved, but it was also very demanding and unpredictable in nature. Sometimes Eileen would have to report on incredibly tragic stories like the Creeslough explosion in co Donegal in 2022, in which 10 people died. This was a part of the job that Eileen took very seriously, as it is so important to cover these stories sympathetically and accurately, and with consideration to those left behind.The physical and emotional toll of the work, after over three decades, was starting to become very apparent to Eileen and so, just over a year ago, she decided to retire and today, she says she has never felt so healthy, so free, and so energised.In this episode Eileen and I have a fascinating chat about her almost four decades at the frontlines of public service news, the various factors that prompted her to make that very big decision to retire, and the amazing things that she has been doing since retirement.COMEDY - when some of Eileen's former colleagues in RTE spotted her walking in the doors of Marconi House to record this interview, they thought she might be 'doing a Claire Byrne' and the Mario Rosenstock Podcast hotline started buzzing!!Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand
