‘Frontline’ flaws greater than RTÉ admitted

Editorial failings in the production of RTÉ’s controversial Frontline presidential debate were more significant than it admitted, the broadcasting watchdog has revealed.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) called on the station to release a working document which its own review was based on.

Its compliance committee said the document features additional information and comments that indicate the editorial failings were more significant than identified by RTÉ.
