Why are RTÉ not reporting on Billion € Oil deal?

matt whelan · 2012-10-10 19:14:17

I'm not a conspiracy theorist and put this one down to RTÉ's journalistic ineptitude rather than any funny business with the govt. but why is that the BBC are carrying this story on their Top News Story section and our national broadcaster have given it no air-time or webpage space?…

Dunno, must be UCD's fault though.

RTE have dealt with this story several time over the summer and reported on profits and new foreshore licences in the past week

Maybe editors didn't wish to have 3 different stories about Providence in a week and be accused of being the Indo

It's an old story that the BBC are late in picking up.
