Report attributes errors to journalist

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.

The BAI report will make painful reading for the presenter, who after a successful career at RTÉ found herself in the midst of the station’s biggest-ever controversy.

Ms Kavanagh, from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, worked in print as a news and sports journalist before joining RTÉ in 1996. She was one of the main presenters of flagship radio programme Morning Ireland but the disastrous Mission to Prey last May led to her being taken off air for the duration of the BAI reporting period.
