The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has expressed its dismay and disappointment that information regarding an ongoing BAI investigation has entered the public domain.

The BAI is responding to a report published in today’s Irish Times, giving details of briefing notes, prepared for the board of the BAI as part of its investigation into the RTE ‘Mission to Prey’ programme.

The episode of the ‘Prime Time Investigates’ series was broadcast in May of last year and resulted in a defamation settlement with Ahascragh priest, Father Kevin Reynolds.

The BAI says it doesn’t know how the Irish Times got access to these documents – but it plans to find out.
