The RTÉ boardroom leaks concerning the hiring of the organisation’s new director general were “unfortunate” and “something nobody wanted to see,” an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Recently appointed chair of the RTÉ board, Siún Ní Raghallaigh said RTÉ must “build up trust again,” following the leak which was labelled as “unfair”.
