Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion

Mr. S?amus Dooley:

There was one presenter who threatened so often to leave that we said, "Well, just show him the door". RTÉ did show him the door. It engaged someone else and the ratings increased. That has happened consistently. There is plenty of talent available. This is a small country. I reject the notion of a media market existing in that format. In fairness, the current director general has had a much better approach in this regard.
