‘Frontline’ report author threatens to sue BAI

An author of the internal report into RTÉ’s controversial Frontline presidential debate is threatening to sue the Irish broadcasting watchdog over the fallout.

Rob Morrison, the independent member of the review team, said his integrity and reputation has been called into question by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.

The BAI claimed there were more significant editorial failings than was admitted in his final report, co-authored with senior RTÉ executive Steve Carson.
