Although the broadcasting company was only founded later, the broadcast of a radio program began in Ireland on January 1, 1926. Television operations began on New Year's Eve 1961. Over the years several radio and television programs as well as a website with the latest news were added.

In autumn 2010 the concrete planning phase began for a comprehensive modernization project called Project 2025 , estimated at a total of € 350 million , for which the building permit was granted at the end of November 2010 .

With effect from June 1, 2010, Glen Killane replaced the previous managing director of television and later RTÉ general director Noel Curran as managing director of television . In November 2010, with effect from February 2011, Noel Curran, the former managing director of television , was named as the new general director of the station .

The last remaining broadcasts from RTÉ on shortwave for Africa were discontinued at the end of 2016. Instead, the listeners were referred to the live streams on the Internet.
