The new Director General of RTÉ Kevin Bakhurst has said he is standing down the RTÉ Executive Board on his first official day in the job.
He made the announcement in an email to staff on Monday morning and said the Executive Board will be replaced with a temporary interim leadership team to run the organisation.
He also said that RTE under his leadership would be dedicated to "listening" to staff and "being open and transparent, to strictly adhering to revised and rigorous governance processes and procedures, to being accountable and to delivering a public service to be proud of".
