3 days agoRTE staff numbers rose last year, annual report reveals
There were 1,853 employees at Montrose on December 31 last, according to the station's annual report for 2024, which has just been published. This was up from 1,836 at the end of 2023. The reclassification of seven contractors to employees accounted for some of the increase. RTÉ is still engaging with the Department of Social Protection about the status of contractors, and paid €0.9m in tax settlements last year as a result of this investigation. The total wages and salaries bill also rose last year, up from €130.2m in 2023 to €132.7m.
