212. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media what follow-up she gave to correspondence relating to allegations of historic bullying within RTÉ (details supplied); if she or a representative has engaged with the individual with a view to resolving the matter; how she intends to deal with similar cases surfacing in relation to RTÉ; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5970/24]
View answerIn accordance with the statutory independence of RTÉ, neither I nor my officials have any role in day to day operational matters, this includes issues relating to individual members of staff and contractors.
With regard to the specific case referred to by the Deputy, this and any such matters that are brought to the attention of my Department are forwarded to the Director General of RTÉ for direct attention, given that human resources and staffing issues are a matter for the Director General. I understand that the Director General has responded directly to the individual.
