Greens see red over ‘biased’ RTÉ

THE Green Party has threatened legal action against RTÉ claiming their coverage of the Nice Treaty referendum is biased towards the Yes side.

Party chairman John Gormley said they were sending a solicitor’s letter to the national broadcaster, threatening action for breaches of its public service remit.

The Government and the larger parties are pressurising RTÉ and using the prospective licence fee increase as a weapon, Mr Gormley said.
