The National Union of Journalists says it does not accept many of the conclusions reached in a report by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland into an RTÉ programme which defamed Ahascragh priest, Fr Kevin Reynolds.

RTÉ has been fined 200 thousand euro over the ‘Mission to Prey’ Prime Time Investigates programme, which falsely accused Fr Reynolds of raping a minor in Africa.

The NUJ says it is not satisfied with aspects of the BAI’s investigation process, including the authority’s failure to interview members of RTÉ’s legal department.
