RTÉ IS to find out shortly if a fine of up to €250,000 is to be imposed upon it as a result of the station’s libel of Fr Kevin Reynolds.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has sent a copy of the independent report into the matter along with notification of any sanction to RTÉ for consideration.

The station will be given 14 days to respond or make submissions.

At the end of the process the BAI will publish the report into the libel action and announce any financial sanctions it might impose on the broadcaster.
