Temperatures are rising, the birds are singing, and Ryan Tubridy and RTÉ are in conflict once again… it’s the dawn of a mid-2020s Irish summer, alright.
If you thought this particular saga was over, think again.
Though he has long decamped to London for the halls of Virgin Radio, Tubridy and his superstar agent Noel Kelly are keenly focused on goings-on in Donnybrook.
The pair are entrenched in a lengthy search for answers related to Tubridy’s headline-making departure two years ago, with the ongoing hunt for clarity said to be costing a hefty sum.
Speaking of money problems, well, RTÉ has plenty of those to deal with already, including a seven-figure write-down, and a contentious staff redundancy scheme.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest and Liveline presenter Joe Duffy’s shock exit announcement are causing their own unique headaches.
Is the RTÉ soap opera back for a brand-new season?
On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Ellen Coyne is joined by Fionnán Sheahan, Ireland Editor with the Irish Independent, to look at the latest goings-on at the national broadcaster.
