Broadcaster Ms Emer Woodfull has settled her action against RTE for bullying. According to her solicitor, Mr Manus McLafferty, she received a "substantial amount". No figure was given but it is believed to be a large five-figure sum.
RTE rejected the suggestion that the money was paid as a settlement of Ms Woodfull's legal action. It said that Ms Woodfull had accepted a standard severance package similar to that being given to other staff leaving under the current severance plan.
