THE Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) report into the Fr Kevin Reynolds controversy will be delivered to RTE bosses today.
Sources have confirmed that the report was submitted to the BAI’s lawyers for checking and is now ready to be given to RTE. The broadcaster has 14 days to examine it and respond.
The investigation was launched after ‘Prime Time Investigates’ falsely accused Galway priest Fr Kevin Reynolds of fathering a child in Africa.
The inquiry, ordered by Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte, was set up to consider whether segments had breached the Broadcasting Act.
