Management at the state broadcaster are frantically hunting for a replacement for ‘Six One News’ slot
The knock-on effects of Claire Byrne and Joe Duffy’s departures from RTÉ could impact David McCullagh, Ray Kennedy, Fran McNulty, Vivienne Traynor and Colm Ó Mongáin.
RTÉ bosses are scrambling to find a star replacement following David McCullagh’s departure from the Six One News.
A source told the Sunday Independent that RTÉ’s head of news Deirdre McCarthy “needed this like a hole in the head” and was unhappy when RTÉ Radio One told her they would be taking one of her most high profile names off TV, to replace Claire Byrne on Radio One.
