Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has criticized Sinn Féin’s proposal to review RTÉ’s objectivity regarding its coverage of international conflicts, particularly the ongoing situation in Gaza. The manifesto commitment calls for an independent review led by media and human rights experts. Mary Lou McDonald, Sinn Féin’s leader, argues that such peer reviews are standard practice and essential for maintaining trust in the media. Harris cautions that this move could threaten press freedom and outlines concerns over potential political interference.
