RTE presenter Aoife Kavanagh has quit the state broadcaster over the damning report into the defamatory Mission to Prey programme.
The Prime Time Investigates reporter also apologised to victims of abuse and to Fr Kevin Reynolds for the hurt caused when he was wrongly portrayed of raping a minor and fathering a child while working as a missionary in Kenya.
Ms Kavanagh – whose investigation was severely criticised in the probe – said while she acknowledged mistakes were made, she believed she had acted objectively and in good faith.
“In this regard I do not accept many of the findings of the investigating officer in relation to the manner in which I carried out my work,” she said.
