Ms Deirdre McCarthy:

We have been working with the marketing team on this for months. Filming is continuing. It is not finished yet. Each step of the way, the team has kept us informed. Where we had concerns, we have raised them. We have listened to the members of staff who have raised concerns. Last week's meeting was an opportunity for everyone to have an open and frank discussion about it. If there are issues, we will bring them back. It is imperative that we do nothing that would undermine the reputation of RTÉ News.
