A POST ON social media has suggested that RTÉ received money from several groups whom conspiracy theorists often cite as being responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Facebook post, which has been shared more than 150 times, contains an image of a Freedom of Information response issued by the broadcaster and says “this is who RTÉ is taking orders from”.

It will be lights, camera, action as students from across Ireland battle it out to be crowned winner of the rescheduled 2020 Junk Kouture Grand Final this Thursday at 7pm on RTÉ2.
Like most live events last year, Covid-19 led to the postponement of the 10th annual Junk Kouture final in 3Arena Dublin in April 2020, but the curtain didn’t fall on Junk Kouture as the team persevered to produce an equally wonderful alternative to their yearly live show.
And now for the first time ever, the Junk Kouture Grand Final supported by the Creative Ireland Programme will be televised, beaming the incredible designs of students into the homes of the nation and showcasing these talented young people who have waited so patiently throughout the pandemic for their moment to shine.

Ahead of Cruinniú na nÓg 2021 on Saturday, 12 June The Creative Ireland Programme are putting the call out to all interested people and groups to make this year the biggest and best ever!
They are seeking applications from individuals/organisations who have the capacity to devise and deliver content and activities for a national (rather than local) audience of children and young people.
Wesley O Duinn [producer]:
“At the time when the Croí Cruthaitheach project came up, we had been working on a number of adverts and TV segments. We’d recently done The Fleadh Cheoil TV show stories with another production company for TG4 and the Galway 2020 advert; both of which I’d produced. We were in a good workflow at the time we received the brief.”
Tomek Ciezki [director]:
“It was a week before my wedding; I was in Poland at the time and promised myself to take that week off. It all changed when I saw the brief. Together with Wes, we worked on the proposal and budget around the clock and send it off the day before I was going away to get married. The crew was pivotal to the application and we managed to lock in Burschi Wojnar for DOP and Daithi for music, which, along with our own offering, really helped the application.”
