George Less is a person of enormous integrity who I admired greatly during his time with RTE. In truth, I was very disappointed when he joined Fine Gael as I felt that his RTE role was much more significant than any opportunity that might arise within the party and that he would be compromised by it and the Dail. However, his resignation fully restores my faith in him as a person of great integrity and ability and I hope that he will revert to a key reporting position at RTE.
