Judge says RTÉ's decision not to release records about its climate change coverage must be revisited

Image: Mark Stedman/RollingNews.ie Image: Mark Stedman/RollingNews.ie THE HIGH COURT has ordered the Commissioner for Environmental Information to reconsider a decision that allowed RTÉ not to release documents about how it reports on climate change.

The group had appealed to the Commissioner – a watchdog for access to information – after the broadcaster rejected its appeal for records in 2018. The request – which was made under Access to Information on the Environment regulations, a form of Freedom of Information query – was refused by the broadcaster in December 2018 because the records were not deemed “environmental”.
