Courageous Leaders: Kevin Bakhurst

In the latest episode of our Courageous Leaders podcast series, Ibec CEO Danny McCoy is joined by Kevin Bakhurst, Director General of RTÉ, to discuss the link between a responsible media, a thriving economy, and a cohesive society.  As part of Ibec’s "Open for Business" campaign, this conversation explores how our global reputation for openness and inclusion, is a fundamental driver of our economic resilience. Danny and Kevin delve into a critical reality: while Ireland has become a global leader in progress, that success is now under pressure from divisive narratives.  Kevin shares insights on RTÉ’s mission to foster an informed public conversation, the lessons learned from sustaining credibility during crises, and the role of leadership in "holding the line" for facts and inclusion. Thank you for listening.
