Editorial signature
The Nine O'Clock News, Prime Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the RTÉ Investigates strand anchor the public broadcaster's news output, with Prime Time's reporting on creche abuses, nursing homes and the Mother and Baby Homes setting recurring national agendas. The 2023 Ryan Tubridy / Renault payments scandal forced a Public Accounts Committee inquiry and a still-unresolved restructuring of the licence-fee model, with governance now the dominant internal story alongside the news.
