Did you read this thejournal_ie exclusive yesterday about RTÉ's wrangle with Tusla over the Hyde and Seek probe? We want to partner with noteworthy_ie to look at creche standards all around the country - You can help here:

Image: Shutterstock/Rawpixel.com Image: Shutterstock/Rawpixel.com TUSLA ACCUSED RTÉ of not prioritising the welfare of children during a war of words in the days before an exposé into practices at a Dublin creche chain aired, new documents show.

It also came after the broadcaster learned that one of the creches involved in the documentary operated for more than a year without registering with Tusla, which is against the agency’s regulations. However, subsequent correspondence on the same date from Lee to the broadcaster’s corporate health and safety manager, Andrew Dunne was the first in a series of fraught exchanges between the agency and RTÉ.

After receiving no reply from Dunne, Lee escalated his queries to RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes on July 22, when he asked whether the RTÉ Investigates team had access to experts or advice about child protection during the making of the documentary. He hit back at a claim by Tusla that RTÉ did not prioritise the well-being of children who attended Hyde and Seek. At no point did RTÉ “put the safety and wellbeing of children ahead of the production of a television programme” as you suggest… The researchers were directed, at all times, that the children in their care were to be their first priority.
