Watchdog set to publish ‘Mission to Prey’ report within days

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 Broadcasting Authority of Ireland met yesterday to consider the recommendations of its compliance committee on an inquiry into the Prime Time Investigates programme ‘Mission to Prey’.

The committee previously examined a report on an inquiry into the making of the documentary conducted by investigating officer Anna Carragher.
