Mr. Hickey has announced his resignation as a director of RTE, reflecting on a transformative period since 2007. His departure comes amid a crisis following undisclosed payments made to presenter Ryan Tubridy. Hickey's tenure has involved significant challenges, including scrutiny by Oireachtas committees over financial practices. A seasoned professional and co-founder of Web Summit, Hickey emphasized the importance of public service broadcasting in Ireland. His resignation is a strategic move to balance professional and personal commitments, including his growing PR firm and family responsibilities.
Public service broadcasting has never been more important - as a trusted source of news, a platform for Irish storytelling, and a champion of our culture and creative community.
These past years have only deepened my conviction about RTE's vital role in our society.
