The Executive Board of RTE is being stood down from today.
The new Director General confirmed the news in an email to staff this morning.
Kevin Bakhurst says a new interim leadership team will be appointed, with a permanent one announced in due course.
In the email he also committed to publishing the salaries of the Executive Board along with the ten highest paid presenters in the RTE annual report every year, starting with 2023.
Mr Bakhurst said: ''Like you, I have been appalled by recent events and the impact it has had on the public perception of RTÉ, the impact on the trust the public places in us, and the impact it has had on you all. I look forward to working with Siún Ní Raghallaigh and the RTÉ Board as we collectively set out to rebuild trust in RTÉ, inside and outside, starting from today.''
He added ''I know that all of you are deeply upset and angry. RTÉ is full of talented and hard-working people who remain committed to delivering a vital public service to our audiences, and you have been let down by RTÉ management. I have heard many of your concerns already and I will continue to listen to what you have to say.''
''I am standing down the Executive Board today. It will be replaced with a temporary interim leadership team to continue running the organisation. In due course, there will be a new permanent leadership team.''
