Somebody from the Government is clearly making constant contact with the authorities in RTE to impress upon them the need to have Ministers accommodated on soft cosy chat shows to promote Government policy. This is in breach of legislation. The public broadcasting service is not the preserve of Government but of the people. Everybody is entitled to equal treatment. Who has been in touch with RTE?
