Not tv related, but does RTE offer visits to its studios in Dublin. From a look at their website, it would appear not.

Not on a regular basis anyway. It is a coveted experience all right - they tended only to be offered via the odd competition on kids programmes down through the years - that your class could have a tour if you won.
Work experience is really the only way of getting a good nose around. I remember in college it was proposed by lecturers for subseqent years that they propose to RTÉ that the broadcasting students, lets say of second year, get a comprehensive tour every a year.
It's a good idea, something worth trying out if you're in college. The Independent Productions Unit (IPU) are good at coming out to colleges, so it may be possible to ask them.
But on a private, individual basis it's pretty much non-existant I'd say, unless you know someone there.

Anyone see this new light at the base of the desk installed over the weekend? Yet another ridiculous off-the-cuff addition:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/RTE1TV/Wide-NewLight.jpg
It is completely out of context on that long horizontal strip in the wide shot.
It was only inserted to improve this dull Six One two-shot:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/RTE1TV/ComingUp.jpg
(before insertion)
The light effect generated has a marginal impact. Overall, the set is better without it.
Also that bulb in the set background is still blown - very prominent in the final wide...
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/RTE1TV/EileenEnd.jpg
...and someone's been fiddling round the back of the monitor unit but as can be seen above hasn't even bothered to roll the set units back together properly

Eamonn Horan - as Anthony Murnane one quipped on News 2 'the Offaly man who made it big in Dublin' 
He's RTÉ's latest piece of eye candy to balance out the recent female recruits. Unlike these though, he's very good. He can 'work' a bulletin vey well, delivering decent links and is efficient at dealing with scoreboards and LVOs and graphics etc.
So much so he blatently outshines the likes of Aengus and other less competent newsreaders that are leading the bulletin alongside him.
The Anne Doyle-Eamonn relationship on the Sunday Nine is becoming increasingly common, and increasingly perverted
Very strange to have an older woman and a younger man - it is always the other way round!
What I'd do to hear their closing wide chit chat, especially as Anne often leans over to him, whispers something, then pulls back bellowing with laughter.
Very very strange...
Anne is hilarious though in real life - the complete opposite of her stern broadcast persona.

Are you sure?
I thought that the old idents were just the widescreen ones we have now shown as 14:9 in 4:3. I'm almost sure this is what they used to do on RTÉ Two as well. The new RTÉ Two look came out only last October so I doubt very much that they just ''zoomed'' in on the old ones.

All they've done is zoomed the old idents to make them 16:9.

Yes - surely they are widescreen? They've al been broadcast as 14:9 since 2003 when the new lot came in, along with the new News package.
Here's one of the 'old' ones as it were: the Pillar-to-Spire ident. It dates from the beginning in Sept 2003, and can be seen here as 14:9 on terrestrial:

Do the images look zoomed on Sky?

Another aspect ratio issue here with the weather.
Some of the presenters still haven't become used to the 14:9 format yet - this is where Evelyn was standing for about half a minute yesterday before realising where she was on the floor monitor.

This is happening quite a bit still - though this is the worst case I've seen; at times she was almost completely out of shot!
Also think the RTÉ DOG is still sticking out too far.
Lovely graphics though - I think they're the best ever. Maybe the greens are a teeny bit bright, but overall a fresh, streamlined and elegant look.
Sigh - back to the Newsroom. Poor Anne, she's burning up under those lights. The exposure was even worse on a standard television set: doesn't look too bad here:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/RTE1TV/AnneTilt.jpg
You gotta like that trademark tilt she does at the end of some stories - here she's doing her classic knowing smirk for the 'and finally' fluff story.
And the closing wide - THE SET BULB'S BEEN REPLACED!!!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/RTE1TV/ClosingWide.jpg
Alas Anne is about to burst into flames in this shot - again the light was even worse on a standard set.
Of course wearing light colours doesn't help, it's a camera op's nightmare, but even so the keys are always way too bright in the Newsroom.
