It’s after the Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte confirmed there’ll be an independent inquiry into the programme’s defamation of Father Kevin Reynolds. 

A libel case was settled last week after the priest was wrongly accused of raping a teenage girl in Kenya and making her pregnant.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland is due to report back to the Government on the matter within two months.

Meanwhile, the Oireachtas Communications Committee is also set to look into the matter.
