Minister Alex White will not interfere with RTÉ

Communications Minister Alex White has weighed in on Labour’s claims that RTÉ’s coverage of Irish Water has been imbalanced and signalled that more analysis of water services is needed by the media.

Mr White, as the minister responsible for RTÉ, said he would not interfere with their independence.

However, he also said that responsible coverage did not just mean “having talking heads in studio”.
