RTÉ to investigate if any of Creaven's crimes were committed on company time

Kieran Creaven, the 59-year-old former sports producer was last week sentenced to 10 years in jail for the sexual abuse and exploitation of young children, including flying to the Philippines for the purpose of child sexual abuse.

RTÉ has said Kieran Creaven’s trips to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Kenya were “not in connection with RTÉ business”.

It is now looking into whether any of Creaven’s crimes were committed while he was on company time or using the broadcaster’s equipment, and has sought clarity from gardaí on the matter.
