Keith Walsh Sues RTÉ Over Employment Status | Belfast News

Former 2FM star Keith Walsh is suing RTÉ, claiming he was unfairly dismissed and wrongly classified as a freelancer instead of a full-time employee during his decade-long tenure hosting “Breakfast Republic.” His case taps into a wider controversy around RTÉ’s past practice of misclassifying workers — a tactic known as “bogus self-employment” — which can strip employees of critical benefits like pensions, sick pay, and holidays. While RTÉ has settled some similar claims and reclassified workers, Walsh seeks damages, a court declaration of unfair dismissal, and reimbursement for taxes paid to Revenue. The case remains pending, with RTÉ yet to publicly respond.
