Ryan’s daughter gets a star role. Is it jobbery?

PERHAPS it’s the cynic in me, but when I see the shoehorning of some celebrity’s offspring into a well-paid semi-state job, the whiff of nepotism fills my nostrils.

I refer to the appointment of the late Gerry Ryan’s daughter who has secured a position in RTÉ as a TV host.

As a taxpayer and being TV licence compliant, may I ask if RTÉ complied with accepted practice in the sphere of equal employment opportunities for all when making this appointment?
