Third warning for ‘Ray D’Arcy Show’ over abortion coverage

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has served RTÉ with a warning notice after upholding a third complaint about The Ray D’Arcy Show’s coverage of abortion.

The BAI said the notice was issued because it was the third time it had upheld complaints about the programme’s coverage of abortion.

RTÉ issued a statement noting and accepting the BAI’s decision. “As required, RTÉ will provide the BAI with a plan to ensure there is no re-occurrence (sic) of the issues identified,” read the statement.
