Spotlight on Kev

The Beeboids hunting for a new DG get a free chance to scrutinize Kevin Bakhurst this week. The RTE Director General appears in front of TD's on the Irish Parliament's Culture Committee on Wednesday. 

Some of them are puzzled that, despite a big and expensive redundancy programme, the RTE headcount went up in the recent annual report. At 31 December 2024, there were 1,853 (2023: 1,836) employees, of which 219 (2023: 204) were part-time/casual. The full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount at
31 December 2024 was 1,740 (2023: 1,734). 

Kev's total package at RTE is 340,000 Euros (c£297k).
