Beverly Flynn saga - Set up press complaints commission

There is a palpable sense of public outrage over the Beverley Flynn settlement.

She sued RTÉ for libel, but the licence fee payers will ultimately foot much of the bill.

If she had won the case, she would not have settled for the payment of part of her costs, or part of the award. Hence many people feel cheated at RTÉ’s commercial decision to get as much as possible without losing further money in putting her into bankruptcy.
