Tánaiste Micheál Martin described the actions as "first steps towards helping restore public confidence in RTÉ". "Confidence in RTÉ starts with its own staff and board. And from there it can start to build trust with the Oireachtas, its audience, the independent production sector and the public."Media caption,The shake up comes after Taoiseach Leo VaradkarOn Saturday, Mr Varadkar said he was aware changes to organisation were coming once Mr Bakhurst took up post.
