Quoted here on my FOI work on the latest RTÉ public trust data. To the DG's response, I'd add that if trust is so low and barely recovering, why not begin a programme of engagement with the public on their expectations and aspirations for public media? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Hoping putting this out there helps puncture journalistic and academic complacency on this subject. Lodged new FOI request for the 2024 data too; the outcome will say more about whether for RTÉ, trust is just a one-way street. Their official position remains that the public are not entitled to know.
Public trust in RTÉ fell to just 32% in internal poll taken in wake of payments scandal
Public trust plummeted to historic lows in the wake of the Ryan Tubridry payments scandal.
