It was also an organisation with some tensions. Tom Savage, a former priest, was now Director General of RTĂ at a time when the organisation was focusing on child sexual abuse by his former colleagues. The Communications Clinic, while continuing to advise bodies associated with the Catholic Church, was now also acting for organisations representing the rights of abuse victims. Kate was asked to assist Terry Prone with her work in relation to the scandals.

Yeah this fella is just after coming to my attention in recent times. He is so blatantly pro government and is unashamedly so. There is no subtlety. How he manages to be a journalist is open to debate.
I think he is from Kerry but not quite sure. What lead me to think he was from Kerry was when he was interviewed on Brendan O Connor and when asked about govts performance thus far during covid 19 and all nursing home deaths he delivered âah shurlookit we could have Bojo or Trump in power and canât we count our lucky stars we dontâ.
He is. He claimed on newstalk last week his big sacrifice during the pandemic was the cancellation of the Kerry society in Dublin annual shin dig of which he was heavily involved. This was in response to selfish people house partying.
