Sir, – Una Mullally writes (“If RTÉ moves away from its DNA, what is it any more?,” Opinion & Analysis, July 1st) that if commissioned from an independent producer, Fair City would be at risk should that producer “decide one day to pull the plug”.
Like any broadcaster, RTÉ would retain the programme rights and, if one producer no longer wished to make it, would simply commission another. – Yours, etc,
