April 10, 2012

RTE has declined to comment on fresh reports surrounding an official inquiry into its ‘Mission to Prey’ programme.

The programme libelled Ahascragh priest Fr.Kevin Reynolds.

A report from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has yet to be released, however the Irish Times has published details of briefing documents it says were prepared for the board of the BAI.

It claims that the report has heavily criticised the standards of journalism involved in the broadcast, and that a fine in the region of 200 thousand euro could be imposed.
