Adrian Lynch has revealed the future of Fair City – and it’s good news for fans.
It was announced this week that the company would be outsourcing many of it’s programmes to independent production companies.
“Fair City is not going to be outsourced,” the Channel Controller of RTE One and RTE Two said.

Despite the good news, Adrian told Mary Wilson on RTE Radio One’s Drivetime  that management at the national broadcaster would have to make “extremely unpalatable” decisions in the months ahead due to Brexit.
The majority of British voters decided for Britain to leave the EU – a political decision that will have a great effect on Ireland because of the country’s close connection to Great Britain.
When asked what other areas RTE are looking to outsource, Adrian repeated they would “have to make some difficult decisions if Brexit keeps rolling on.”
If RTE choose to outsource programmes, about 15 contractors with the department were told their contracts were to finish by the end of the year, and RTE staff working in the section would be redeployed elsewhere.
