In 2018, a man wrote down the abuse, the bullying and the cover-up that he alleges he endured at RTÉ when he was working there in the 1990s. He sent the information to Dee Forbes and he did not receive a response. He sent it to Moya Doherty, the then chair of the board, and did not receive a response. He also sent it to a HR executive board member and received a very unsatisfactory response. At the time, RTÉ was saying "The Truth Matters" and it was in vogue for the organisation to say it was going to give justice to people and listen to their stories. It certainly did not happen in this case. Will the Taoiseach ensure, with the process that has been announced by the Government, that people like this man will have their stories listened to, will receive justice and will be taken seriously, so that they can get some closure in relation to very traumatic experiences?
