New rule on RTÉ board nominees

A protocol issue has paved the way for a joint Oireachtas committee to reconsider its nominations to the RTÉ board.

The transport and communications committee had included, as one of four nominees, Fionnuala Sheehan.

At the time of the nomination in October, she was the chief executive of a registered charity, Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society (MEAS).
