According to IFTN RTÉ has released information about its 2008 commissioning round. Next year it is looking for Factual, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Educational, Regional, Young People's, Multi-cultural, Education programming agus Cláracha Gaeilge for RTÉ ONE and RTÉ TWO. Submissions will be accepted, online only, from Monday the 25th of June 2007 until Monday 27th August 2007 at 12 noon. Drama proposals are accepted throughout the year.

This year there has been a change in the application process. Producers who plan to submit applications have to register with RTÉ online first -- registration begins today. RTÉ states:

All of our commissions must be original, distinctive in their own genre, focused on their target audience, and offer a clear sense of how they will enhance our service to our viewers. We are looking for the best available creativity and talent in the sector, and will particularly welcome new talent in appropriate roles, including front of camera.
