News Summary:

On February 18, 2026, RTÉ production staff overwhelmingly voted "no confidence" in senior management's reform plan, with 89% rejecting the proposal. Members of SIPTU, the union representing lighting, sound, make-up, and other backroom staff, stated that the plan would lead to the "endless outsourcing of jobs" and "deal a fatal blow to public service broadcasting in Ireland." Earlier on February 18, RTÉ introduced an Irish language commentary option for live broadcasts of Irish football and rugby matches, commencing with the Six Nations Championship clash between Ireland and England.
