There were 6.6 million reasons to be thankful as the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal raised much-needed funds for children’s charities, with Barnardos, Children’s Health Foundation, and Children’s Books Ireland among the beneficiaries.
RTÉ’s support for the arts more than doubled between 2020 and 2021. As the arts, cultural and events sectors pivoted amid the pandemic, RTÉ gave airtime and campaign support to 130 arts and cultural events all over the island in 2021, up from 56 events in 2020.
RTÉ’s Home School Hub and After School Hub made a return to RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player, delivering three hours of television daily and offering a helping hand to parents, while an ISL version aired on RTÉjr.
RTÉ achieved the globally recognised international energy management standard, ISO 50001, by increasing energy efficiency and exceeding public sector targets, becoming the first broadcaster in Ireland and the UK to do so.
In March, with no live shows due to restrictions, the RTÉ Choice Music Prize reimagined itself as a daytime simulcast on 2fm and the RTÉ Player presented by 2fm’s Tracy Clifford.
