Confidence in RTÉ board shaken: Rabbitte

The RTÉ board is in the firing line after Pat Rabbitte admitted his confidence in it was “shaken”.

The communications minister, who has responsibility for the national broadcaster, has demanded a meeting of the 13-member board at 8am on Tuesday to discuss the fallout from the report.

“I want an opportunity to study that report over the weekend and to discuss that report and its contents with the board, because ultimately the board is charged with the governance of RTÉ, and the governance, as well, failed on this occasion,” he said.
