Commenting on this achievement Noel Curran, Director General RTÉ, said: "The fact that RTÉ has been shortlisted across so many categories, and across all platforms, is immensely gratifying. The diversity of awards in which we have been shortlisted is a credit not only to RTÉ, but also to the range of independent productions companies with whom we have engaged across the year. Awards and festivals such as this are hugely valuable in showcasing the best of national media, and we are honoured to feature so strongly in the overall final shortlist."
