RTÉ has agreed to submit a report to Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte in one week’s time, as well as provide a monitoring report every three months, detailing the measures it is taking to ensure it does not repeat a defamatory programme such as ‘Mission to Prey’.
The agreement was the result of a two hour-long meeting between the minister and the RTÉ Board yesterday. Minister Rabbitte called the meeting following the publication of the BAI’s report on the now infamous RTÉ ‘Prime Time Investigates’ A Mission to Prey’ programme.
Following yesterday’s meeting Minister Rabbitte said: “Arising from the meeting I have agreed that the Board will provide me, within a week, with a detailed report on all of the steps they are taking to address the serious systemic short-comings that have been exposed by this case.”
