Gallagher repeats call for full investigation into ‘Frontline’ debate

Defeated presidential candidate Seán Gallagher in a letter to the Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte today has called for a full public inquiry into the RTÉ ‘Frontline’ presidential debate and said that new claims raise “fundamental questions” about the impartiality of the national broadcaster.

In his letter, which has been handed to the Minister, Mr Gallagher said he was troubled by emerging evidence that RTÉ “seems to have stage managed or set the agenda” for the programme.
