In an email to staff on Monday morning, Bakhurst, who had a previous stint as managing director of news and current affairs and deputy director general at RTE from 2012-2016 and was with U.K. media regulator Ofcom and the BBC earlier, laid out a no-nonsense approach.
“I know that all of you are deeply upset and angry. RTE is full of talented and hardworking people who remain committed to delivering a vital public service to our audiences, and you have been let down by RTE management. I have heard many of your concerns already and I will continue to listen to what you have to say,” Bakhurst added.
The interim leadership team will be eventually replaced with a permanent one. Meanwhile, Bakhurst said that salaries of the RTE’s executive and interim leadership team would be published alongside the earnings of the 10 highest paid presenters, and a register of interests will also be created for staff and contractors.
