Can we be guests on a show?

It has been revealed that between The Late Late Show and The Ray D'Arcy Show, RTÉ fork out a massive €50,000 to put celebrities up in hotels.

Figures were released today in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request that showed how much the national broadcaster dishes out when it comes to accommodating TV guests.

According to the figures, The Late Late Show spent €30,400 last year, with The Ray D'Arcy Show forking out €18,850.

Some of the guests stay in hotels such as the five-star Dylan Hotel and the Conrad Hotel.

The FOI stated: "The ability of RTÉ to run and manage its business cost effectively is of significant importance.

"Disclosure of such material would prejudice RTÉ contractual negotiations in respect of future services.

"The majority of RTÉ's competitors are not required to release these records on the basis they are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act," they added.
