Kevin Bakhurst will lay out his plan to restore trust in the broadcaster starting with an email to staff on Monday morning
It is understood Mr Bakhurst will on Monday morning outline sweeping changes around how RTÉ is run, beginning with a restructuring of the executive board which manages day-to-day affairs.
Mr Coveney said he had spoken with Mr Bakhurst and believed that “the tough job ahead of him would be made somewhat easier if he had a fresh lead team”. “I think it is a good thing that he [Tubridy] is willing to come before a committee and I am quite certain that he will be willing to answer questions and give his side of the story. I don’t like rushing to judgment. I really would say to people let’s not rush to judgment.”
