ALL staff involved in the production and broadcast of the ‘Prime Time Investigates’ programme into Fr Kevin Reynolds will be questioned as part of a probe into the affair.

The third and final probe into the Fr Kevin Reynolds affair is expected to be completed within the next month.

An external inquiry commissioned by RTE to examine personnel matters arising from the ‘Mission to Prey’ programme is expected to make its recommendations before the summer, it emerged last night.

Chaired by former senator and Northern Ireland ombudsman, Maurice Hayes, it was asked last month to investigate and make recommendations about RTE personnel involved in the programme.
