STATEMENT OF FINDINGS ISSUED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 55 (2) OF THE BROADCASTING ACT 2009 - BAI - Fri
        



Having considered the matter, the Authority determined that there had been breaches of Section 39(1) (b) and (e) of the Act by RTE. In making its determination, the Authority found as follows:

(FINDINGS:)

* The programme was not fair in that it broadcast serious, damaging and untrue allegations about Father Reynolds that he had abused a teenage girl in Africa in the early 1980's, that she had borne his child and that he had then abandoned her and the child. These allegations were broadcast in the face of denials and in circumstances where Father Reynolds had offered to take a paternity test; despite this, RTE decided to broadcast the programme. Given the fact that Fr. Reynolds is an ordained priest, currently in ministry, the impact upon his reputation was particularly severe. This constituted a breach of Section 39 (1) (b) of the Act.

* The means employed to make the programme, including secret filming and a doorstep interview, unreasonably encroached upon Fr. Reynolds's privacy. This constituted a breach of Section 39 (1) (e) of the Act.

* There was a significant failure of editorial and managerial controls within RTE which failed to anticipate, monitor or control the possibility of such a breach occurring and which failed to recognise the grave injustice which could be done to Fr. Reynolds. This constituted a breach of Section 39 (1) (b) of the Act.

* RTE accepted that its broadcast of seriously defamatory allegations against Fr. Reynolds gave rise to breaches of Sections 39(1)(b) and (e) of the Act and expressed its deep regret that this had happened. RTE accepted that there was no truth whatsoever in the allegations against Fr. Reynolds.

* RTE fully co-operated with the investigation.

* It is a source of regret that RTE did not choose to waive its claim to privilege in the solicitor/client relationship between itself and its in-house legal staff. Such an approach would have assisted a greater understanding of the extent of the advices available to the broadcaster and of the role they played in RTE's decision to transmit the programme.

* The procedures followed were, at all times, appropriate and reflected not only the statutory obligations pursuant to the Act but the requirements of natural justice.

* The Authority regretted that information regarding the process entered into the public domain. The Authority is satisfied that there was no prejudice to anybody concerned in this investigation or determination.

*There was no gain (financial or otherwise) made by RTE as a consequence of the breach.
