Chur Marc Ó Cathasaigh ón gComhaontas Glas ceist ar Phríomh-Stiúrthóir RTÉ Kevin Bakhurst faoin athbhreithniú atá ar bun ag an chomhlacht Willis Tower Watson ar thuarastail oibrithe in RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta i gcomparáid le tuarastail a gcomhghleacaithe Béarla.

Kevin Bakhurst indicated that he had spoken to RTÉ's head of Human Resources about the issue and said that he believed the review had been going on for too long and that he wished to speed things up.

Thug Kevin Bakhurst le fios gur labhair sé le ceannaire Acmhainní Daonna RTÉ faoin cheist agus dúirt gur chreid sé go raibh an t-athbhreithniú ar bun rófhada agus gur mhian leis dlús a chur le cúrsaí.

He said that he would like the review to be published soon because the team had been waiting for it for several years and he wanted to talk to them about it.

Dúirt sé gur mhaith leis go bhfoilseofaí an t-athbhreithniú go luath mar go raibh an fhoireann ag fanacht leis le roinnt blianta agus go raibh sé féin ag iarraidh labhairt leo faoi.

He also claimed that opportunities for advancement, pay and working conditions would be part of the review of RTÉ as a whole that he has announced.

Mhaígh sé fosta go mbeadh deiseanna dul chun cinn, pá agus dálaí oibre mar chuid den athbhreithniú ar RTÉ trí chéile atá fógartha aige.

Bhí cathaoirleach bhord RTÉ Siún Ní Raghallaigh i láthair ag an éisteacht inniu fosta agus mhaígh sí go raibh dul chun cinn déanta ag an eagraíocht maidir leis an Ghaeilge ach go raibh níos mó le déanamh go fóill.

According to her there should be more collaboration between RTÉ and TG4 in relation to Irish language programmes.

Dar léi gur cheart go mbeadh níos mó comhoibrithe idir RTÉ agus TG4 i dtaca le cláir Ghaeilge de.
