RTE’s award-winning current affairs series Prime Time Investigates has been taken off the air for good.
The show, which was responsible for the hugely damaging and defamatory Mission To Prey programme, has been shelved in an attempt to rebuild public trust.
Noel Curran, RTE director general, announced the move as part of wide-ranging reforms in its personnel, management and operations in the current affairs division.
