RTÉ's new Director General Dee Forbes is said to be holding a series of staff updates on Wednesday 30th November to brief staff on the current financial situation at Montrose.
RTÉ announced last week the decision to outsource all production of Young People’s programming to the independent sector to help cost saving measures in light of the projected €20 million deficit the broadcaster is expected to have by the end of 2016.
The broadcaster then announced late on Friday 25th November, that it had agreed to enter into talks with RTÉ unions over the issue in the New Year and has said they will make a further announcement no later than January 31, 2017.
