RTÉ’s Top Earners Now All Managers | Belfast News

RTÉ’s latest pay report reveals a major shift: every top earner in 2025 is now a manager, marking a clear move away from presenters at the top. The broadcaster also boasts a healthy €22.5 million surplus — up from €5.5 million the year before — while spending €8.5 million on its voluntary exit program. Director General Kevin Bakhurst leads the pack with a salary of €339,538, and the leadership team’s pay details are now fully disclosed. Claire Byrne is the only non-manager in the top ten — and she’s no longer with RTÉ. The message is clear: management now dominates the pay scale, and RTÉ’s finances are stronger than ever.
