Very true Padraic. While we have documented the CIE/IE story, the RTE version is very very similar. Any real talent (production wise) tends to make a quick break for it to the UK. There have been many like the Director of Father Ted......he ran after directing the Eurovision in 1988. (noted as the one that changed presentation and production values and set the stall out for future shows. Music accepted.) Real talent never stayed in RTE and never will.
