Clarify what this is after revelations[edit]

Not a Senior Leadership Team?

The conclusion from the Oireachtas Media Committee:

RTÉ’s Executive Board 'non-functioning' - Oireachtas Media Committee Chair - RTÉ's most senior staff members do not have a "proper functioning relationship".

They sounded like finger-pointing juniors, not well-paid heads of departments of a major State company. 83.70.131.169 (talk) 15:02, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. We look at the sources, and must be careful about live stories. But we can probably reflect formal comments such as from a Taoiseach or senior committee chairperson, about for example collective decision-making. Reviewing yesterday’s news. SeoR (talk) 12:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nature of the Exec. Board[edit]

Perhaps related to the above, a sentence was added. It has since been removed, replaced and removed again. It was sourced, but slightly awkwardly - and to three sources. Now that could be valid, and to counter one edit summary, a link is not required for any reference, but I do fear that the "implied" aspect of the sentence could suggest original research or synthesis. However, the sense of the sentence has come up in multiple articles about RTE lately, so if someone were to reference one of those and phrase it right, it might fit... so I preserve it here for now:
"From the statement and the appearance of members of the Executive Board at a Joint Houses of the Oireachtas (Parliament) Committee meeting, it was implied that the Executive Board does not function as a management committee, making collective decisions, but is simply a meeting of senior managers all actually working directly for the Director General.^[1]"

Rename to RTE Temp Interim LT?[edit]

Same function, new name. Once membership announced - how many names / heads of units will be the same? Finance and Commercial change, I suppose, maybe HR but Ops are fine, Channels and Content can’t change abruptly. Though temporary and interim sounds sad, no need for both words. 77.75.244.24 (talk) 09:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No need at the moment, the leadership board is currently interim, RTÉ will change its name once they establish what it does, but to move away from the article at this early stage to the old name which could still be used wouldn't be much use 6 months down the road. Indeed RTÉ may not be the same company 6 months down the road. IrishTV (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also the press were calling the acting Deputy DG the Acting Intermim Deputy DG, no the acting adjective has been removed from the title but for some reason he's stil the interim Deputy DG, interim to a position that hasn't exist for the last seven years.

So from one thing Kevin Bakhurst said on the arrival of his CFO and Commerical Director it seems to me that this is the Leadership Team, but RTÉ have no details of this, I suspect we will have to wait for the publication of their 2023 Annual Report, which will possibly have a full list and heading RTÉ Leadership Team, but then the question is do we rename this page or create a new page?

I think perhaps a new article and close this one as historical. SeoR (talk) 16:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
