The Mission to Prey programme was Aoife Kavanagh’s first for PrimeTime Investigates. For her and others on the strand, it would be the last.

Misjudgments by individuals combined with systemic failures led to RTÉ’s grave error to wrongly accuse a priest of fathering the child of a teenage girl he was accused of raping.

Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte has criticised RTÉ's 'Mission to Prey' programme today, calling it a "shoddy, unprofessional, cavalier, damaging piece of work".

RTÉ has accused members of a media watchdog of undermining regulations after documents about the inquiry in the Fr Kevin Reynolds defamation scandal were leaked.

RTÉ has announced a radical overhaul of its news and current affairs structures days before the publication of a damning watchdog report into its broadcast of a defamatory Prime Time Investigates programme.

RTE’s award-winning current affairs series Prime Time Investigates has been taken off the air for good.

A report by the broadcasting watchdog into how an RTÉ programme defamed a Galway priest, Fr Kevin Reynolds, is expected to be published shortly.

The former controller of BBC Northern Ireland has been appointed to investigate the defamation of a priest on RTÉ.

THE results of two reports into the controversial RTÉ Prime Time Investigates programme which defamed Fr Kevin Reynolds are due to be considered by the RTÉ Authority next week.

THE head of RTÉ has pledged to restore the “fundamental bond” of public trust in the state broadcaster in the wake of the Fr Kevin Reynolds libel controversy.

THE country needs an editorially strong RTÉ but the self-inflicted wound caused by the dreadful libel against catholic priest Father Kevin Reynolds has the potential to seriously injury the station’s future ability to delivery strong and original current affairs material to suit the public interest.

TWO of the most senior bosses in RTÉ news and current affairs are to step aside while a public inquiry investigates how the state broadcaster incorrectly accused a County Galway priest of raping an African woman and fathering a child with her.

RTÉ’s news and current affairs chief and a leading editor from the flagship investigative series 'Prime Time Investigates' have stepped down over the defamation of priest Kevin Reynolds.

LAST Monday RTÉ 1 broadcast a documentary called Aftershock: Where to Now? in which four contributors were asked to offer suggestions as to what needs to be done to help this country out of the economic morass in which it finds itself.
