RTE's new Director General Kevin Bakhurst has stood down broadcaster's entire Executive Board on his first official day in the job.
Mr Bakhurst confirmed the changes in an email to staff on Monday morning and said the Executive Board will be replaced with an interim leadership team. Details of the interim leadership team are expected to be shared later today and a permanent leadership team will be appointed "in due course".
The new boss has also committed to publishing the salaries of all RTE Executives alongside the top 10 highest-paid presenters in its annual reports. He added that from today, all significant decisions will be agreed "by the whole of the interim leadership team."
