The role would have involved being on set for 20 hours per week.
RTÉ's decision to suspend the tender for a 'Fair City' photographer is being welcomed.
It was offering up to €60,000 a year to be on set for around 20 hours a week.
RTÉ's Director General Kevin Bakhurst says it isn't possible for the station to commit to a four-year contract or this level of spend, given the challenges it faces.
Longford Fine Gael senator and Oireachtas Media Committee member, Micheál Carrigy thinks the RTÉ chief halted this spending:
