Savage comments misguided

Comments by Martin Gordon (Irish Examiner, June 4) about Tom Savage, chairman of the RTÉ Authority, are misguided on several grounds.

The sweeping statement that “the whole country was aware days before the infamous programme that there were problems” is simply not true.

Two independent investigations revealed that RTÉ editorial, legal and management personnel knew that there were very serious problems but they ignored them and proceeded to broadcast.
