Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion
Mr. S?amus Dooley:
We had the opportunity to meet the expert review group. We had a very intensive negotiation. It is a matter of record that we did not have any engagement at all with the governance review group. That is unfortunate because the two groups are relevant. We used the review group engagement as an opportunity to discuss some of the issues and concerns we had. We await that report. I said this morning on "Morning Ireland" that I understood the report had been furnished and that we would like to see it published as soon as possible. That seems to be a matter of debate. The Minister is waiting for the two reports to be published simultaneously. Bluntly, I do not see the reason for that. A lot of other things are going on in RTÉ HR at present, including issues such as a grade review. We would like to see that report out there because there is a lot of work to be done on that.
