THE solicitor for Fr Kevin Reynolds has piled pressure on RTE chairman Tom Savage to resign by insisting that he is ultimately responsible for the catastrophic errors of the Prime Time Investigates programme A Mission To Prey.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent yesterday, Robert Dore said: “The buck stops with the head man in RTE. The head of the board.”
He added: “If there are defective procedures within RTE that permitted this to happen, the responsibility for those defective procedures must go to the very top.”
The solicitor’s comments follow the publication of a damning report on the RTE programme by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI), which criticised journalistic standards and a lack of editorial and managerial controls.
