"A group of people who all consider themselves frightfully important is gathered on an exclusive private island, cut off from the rest of the world, and one by one they are being mysteriously bumped off. If Agatha Christie was writing her classic whodunnit And Then There Were None these days, she would surely set it in RTÉ - a privileged retreat equally detached from the real world, where the casualty rate has recently risen to suspicious proportions."

RTÉ is depicted as an exclusive, insular organization where influential figures gather isolated from public scrutiny. A pattern of internal turmoil and increasing organizational casualties suggests systemic problems rather than random personnel changes. The broadcaster's stated commitments to impartiality and objectivity appear dubious and require substantive institutional reform. Superficial responses—such as rotating personnel or internal reshuffles—will fail to restore credibility. Transparency, robust editorial standards, and accountable leadership are necessary to rebuild trust and ensure that news coverage meets impartiality and objectivity expectations instead of perpetuating a self-protecting culture.
