Kevin Bakhurst is expected to publicly outline his plans to ‘restore trust’ in the national broadcaster
He was speaking as the incoming director general of RTÉ promised that it is now the “time for action.
The RTÉ controversy will remain headline news this week ahead of an appearance by Mr Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly at two committees on Tuesday.Mr Bakhurst is expected to publicly outline his plans to “restore trust” in RTÉ on his first day in the role. “I understand that the new director general Kevin Bakhurst is going to make some announcements on Monday in relation to changes to the organisation, the way the management is structured and also is going to deal with issues around conflicts of interest.
“It’s a really old fashioned way of collecting revenue based on ownership of a TV, a device that many people just don’t have any more, and almost all the money goes to RTÉ even though there are many other bodies involved in broadcasting outside public service broadcasting,” Mr Varadkar said. The furore around RTÉ’s failure to disclose €345,000 of additional payments to former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy between 2017 and 2022 has since widened.
