I welcome the BAI report into the "Prime Time Investigates" programme, "Mission to Prey" and, in particular, the segment that defamed Fr. Kevin Reynolds. We are all saddened that the report found a cavalier attitude and shoddy and unprofessional journalism within RTE. I support the call for a debate on the report. However, I also call on the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to ensure another segment of the programme, which referred to Brother Gerard Dillon, be investigated. The reason I call for an investigation is RTE made a finding of fact pronouncing Brother Dillon guilty of criminal activity on national television.
