RTÉ vows to act on findings to improve service

The board of RTÉ and its director general have formally accepted the findings of the BAI Inquiry into the Prime Time Investigates programme, A Mission to Prey.

They have reiterated their determination to ensure that the key actions and changes which have been introduced at RTÉ will mean that serious editorial errors, which in this case resulted in the grievous defamation of the innocent Fr Kevin Reynolds, will not be repeated.

RTÉ has responded to the published recommendations contained within the BAI Report, showing how each of 10 separate, formal recommendations by the BAI’s investigating officer has been met with specific actions designed to redress the particular errors and potential ongoing risks identified by the BAI.
