Update 4:30pm: Sinn Féin has promised a "peer review" of RTÉ's coverage of the Israeli war on Gaza if elected, but has denied that it is editorial interference.

The party's manifesto promises to commission an "independent human rights and journalistic expert review into the objectivity of coverage by RTÉ of the Israeli genocide in Gaza and other international conflicts” if elected.
