Minister for Media Catherine Martin said that the most recent RTÉ report revealed even more dysfunctionality and a terrible culture within the broadcaster.

Ms. Martin’s remarks came in response to a report released yesterday by a legal firm that RTÉ hired to review voluntary exit packages and which discovered that ten departures did not meet the criteria for a redundancy as defined by the Redundancy Payments Acts, reports RTE.

“It’s quite shocking that the executive put rules and procedures in place to govern the voluntary exit schemes and then do not adhere to them themselves,” she said, reports RTE.

“So some staff have the rules rigidly applied but there’s one rule for the others. That is just an appalling culture that existed at the time,” reports RTE.
