Prior to going to air, all Radio and Television advertisements airing on RTÉ must first be cleared for broadcast by our internal Copy Clearance Committee who consider both the verbal and visual content of the commercial along with its suitability for broadcast and it’s compliance with all existing Legal and Industry Codes for advertising as well as RTÉ’s own internal guidelines. Please note Clearcast or RACC Clearance does not cover RTÉ Radio or Television stations.

The Copy Clearance Committee meet to review Clearance submissions each Tuesday and Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Please note failure to comply with our Clearance meeting deadlines may result in airtime being pushed back and any lost airtime fully charged.

This is a new system. All cases over 12 months old need to be resubmitted. In certain circumstances, we will request that more recent cases be submitted again, so we appreciate your cooperation.
