Ms Deirdre McCarthy:

The Deputy is referring to RTÉ Clarity, a new strand which is actually capturing a number of things. It takes a lot of resources and work to actually call out disinformation. Under the RTÉ Clarity strand, disinformation is one part but an awful lot of it is about tackling misinformation. Where there is a lot of noise in or around particular events or stories, we aim to bring clarity to it; that is the purpose of it. The other important issue, which is very clear, is that people want to know how we do our jobs. They want to understand how we verify and source stories and how we do what we do. The purpose of RTÉ Clarity is also aimed at bringing some clarity to that too.
