No point 'moving around the deck chairs': Minister says real change of culture needed at RTÉ 

Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys said 'more conversations' were needed to ensure a full overhaul of how the station operates is brought about

New RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst announced a series of changes in response to what he described as the 'shameful' revelations that have emerged in recent weeks.

Standing down the executive board of RTÉ is not enough, as full cultural change is required, the Social Protection Minister has warned.

Heather Humphreys said RTÉ, as a public service broadcaster, had an important role to play in a functioning democracy, but added "more conversations" were needed to ensure a full overhaul of how it operates is brought about.
