The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, has acknowledged the resignation of Siún Ní Raghallaigh as Chair of the RTÉ Board.
The Minister said:
“I wish to thank Siún Ní Raghallaigh for her service as Chair of the Board of RTÉ at a time of unprecedented crisis at the national broadcaster. Her contribution to the process of reform and transformation underway in the organisation has been hugely significant; and her hard work and commitment to public service broadcasting must be acknowledged.”
She continued:
“At this critical time for RTÉ, it is imperative that we continue the important process of restoring trust in the organisation. As Ms Ní Raghallaigh stated, there is an urgent need for the transformation process to continue and a sustainable funding model put in place – I am deeply committed to this.
