I raised a case in the Dáil a couple of months ago. An individual came to me who had a difficult time at RTÉ in the 1990s. He felt he had been intimidated and had endured a lot of bullying in the workplace. I am sure that is not the only case. At the time, I expressed the need for a point of contact. This person previously would have contacted former directors general and chairs. There is a need for a point of contact in the organisation for people who had similar experiences and want to make their cases known to the Minister and the current leadership of RTÉ, and to be heard. Could that be prioritised? I am sure this person is not the only person who has wanted to come forward with his story.
