Women in RTÉ's current affairs unit do not have the same opportunities as men, with some leaving because of a perceived lack of respect, an external report found.

Employment relations expert firm Resolve Ireland was tasked in late 2021 by RTÉ to examine the current affairs unit consisting of staff from Claire Byrne Live, Prime Time, and RTÉ Investigates.
