Rónán Ó Domhnaill says RTÉ not fulfilling its remit to provide ‘wide variety’ of programming
RTÉ has thrown the Irish language “on the scrapheap”, the watchdog to protect the language has claimed.
He said the situation was a sorry state for any national broadcaster, where the first language was effectively set aside on television. He acknowledged RTÉ provided digital and online services though the medium of Irish but he said that did not remove the obligation to broadcast more programmes in Irish.
