The Irish national broadcaster RTE plans to introduce an organisation-wide “conflict of interests” form to allow workers to raise concerns about any potential conflict they are concerned about with line management.

It will be the responsibility of line management to “address concerns speedily and appropriately”, according to a scoping document regarding potential registers of interest and external activities which has been shared with staff unions.
