Sir, - In an interview entitled "Waiting at the Gate" on November 28th, Stephen Brennan maintains that RTE "has absolutely no interest in drama whatsoever". A surprising conviction, given that his wife has been a cast member of Fair City and has been working in RTE Drama since August 1993.
Perhaps Stephen has absolutely no interest in his wife's career (possible, as the article wrongly states that she plays Anne Clarke and not Dolores Molloy) or where does he think she goes of a morning?
It is also somewhat disingenuous to say that RTE hasn't asked him "to work for them". He has on at least two occasions been approached, and turned down offers of engagement from RTE drama series producers. A Tale of Two Perceptions? - Yours, etc.,
