The report into Toy Show The Musical was an RTÉ-commissioned report. Anonymisation was a matter for Grant Thornton who carried out the review for RTÉ.  The terms of reference were set by RTÉ, including need to respect principles of natural justice. 

The decision on anonymisation was taken with regard to the principles of natural justice and to ensure cooperation of interviewees.  Therefore it is not appropriate to comment on its terms of reference or seek another version of the report other than which has been published.

The report makes important findings in relation to governance failings at RTÉ, including in respect of the Board. These findings have been accepted by the current Board. 

The report will feed into the considerations and recommendations of the two independent Expert Advisory Committees established to examine Governance, Culture, HR and related matters in respect of RTÉ and which are expected to report at the end of February.
