RTÉ criticised for cut to Dáil radio coverage

LABOUR TD Michael D Higgins yesterday attacked RTÉ for cutting its radio coverage of the Dáil.

The former minister for arts and culture said the 15-minute Oireachtas Report programme on RTÉ Radio One had been cut back recently by two minutes.

“It’s deeply disappointing. Rather than cutting back on Oireachtas Report, they should be focusing on deepening their coverage of Oireachtas affairs,” he said.
