RTÉ IS to be fined €200,000 following a report by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland which found that the Mission to Prey programme was unfair and a breach of Fr Kevin Reynolds’s privacy.
The authority’s statement of findings, as well as an independent report by former BBC Northern Ireland controller Anna Carragher, were published yesterday.
