RTE’s new Director General Kevin Bakhurst will have a “big job” when he begins his new role at the broadcaster after he met with the station’s union representatives on Friday.
Irish Secretary of the National Union of Journalists Seamus Dooley said Mr Bakhurst made a commitment to communicate with staff, to engage fully and travel and meet people outside of Dublin.
Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne, he said: "It was a positive engagement in that he acknowledged, as indeed did the human resources director, the genuine regret at the pain that has been inflicted on staff.
