At least RTE News did not chose to go full green screen backdrop like ITV News. They could have transformed Studio 3 into a complete green screen studio, and just plonked a desk in the middle, with a fake newsroom backdrop. The current new look, with the real back screens is just right, as with green screen, again it is a hit and a miss approach.
ITV News have become the pioneers of the green screen newsroom - starting in 2004 with their "Theatre of News" set. At least RTE didn't go down that path, heavens know what kind of mess they would have created.
