Behold: vast jets emanating from the Centaurus A galaxy, aka Caldwell 77, each one more than a million light years long. To wit:
These jets of streaming plasma, expelled by a giant black hole in the centre of this spiral galaxy, light up this composite image of Cen A. Exactly how the central black hole expels infalling matter remains unknown. After clearing the galaxy, however, the jets inflate large radio bubbles that likely glow for millions of years. If energised by a passing gas cloud, the radio bubbles can even light up again after billions of years. X-ray light is depicted in the featured composite image in blue, while microwave light is coloured orange. The base of the jet in radio light shows details of the innermost light year of the central jet.

RTÉ has releases the fees earned by its highest-paid presenters in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (above).
Via RTÉ
In addition, RTÉ confirms that, as part of a range of cost-cutting measures announced last year, the total fees paid to its highest-paid presenters has been reduced by 15% in 2020.
FIGHT!
Meanwhile…
RTÉ Director-General, Dee Forbes, said:
“Our presenters have been crucial to RTÉ’s output throughout this pandemic, as audiences turned to their national public media in record numbers for vital news, information, entertainment and companionship. They continue to make a significant contribution to public media in Ireland and enable RTÉ to optimise important commercial revenue, which is essential to support our public services. RTÉ has reduced overall annual operating costs by over €100m since 2008, and last year targeted additional savings of €60m over three years, which we are on course to deliver. In that context, we continue to keep the fees of our highest-paid presenters under constant review.”

I KNOW we throw out the “only in Ireland” line a LOT but seriously, I firmly believe that would really only happen in Ireland. Lovely job @GardaTraffic. Lovely.
