RTE director-general vows to listen to staff and 'rebuild' organisation

Kevin Bakhurst has promised to listen to staff and rebuild the organisation after concerns raised by employees that the fallout from a controversy over understated payments to star presenter Ryan Tubridy will lead to a drop in commercial revenues from advertising and fewer people paying the obligatory TV licence fee. The new director-general of RTE briefly met some members of staff as approximately 100 employees staged a rally outside the national broadcaster to call on the Government to support public service broadcasting. Bakurst, who officially took over the role on Monday, said he needed to work with staff to rebuild the organisation.
