New RTE director general holds press conference on first day in job

Kevin Bakhurst, the new director general of RTE, has said the Irish national broadcaster will be looking at its future relationship with agents. Mr Bakhurst also said that a decision would have to be taken soon on the future of presenter Ryan Tubridy with RTE. Speaking at a press conference in Dublin on his first day as director general, Mr Bakhurst said: “This is only day one. I have tried to set out as comprehensively as I could the plans today, but, as I have made clear, it is the action which counts and that is what I will be judged on.”
