Gallagher will not sue RTÉ over ‘election-changing’ debate

Former presidential hopeful Sean Gallagher will not be taking legal proceedings against RTÉ despite a senior figure at the station admitting the flawed Frontline programme debate changed the outcome of election.

Mr Gallagher previously considered a legal route following reports that a studio audience member’s question was altered by producers being more hostile towards him.

However, it is understood he has decided against taking action.
