Sorry it looks like I was wrong about Who is RTÉ access officer. Kevin Burns is
the currant Access Officer in RTÉ. You can contact him on
012083288<tel:012083288> or by email to
kevin.burns@xxxxxx<mailto:kevin.burns@xxxxxx>

it took a bit of trawling, but according to rte website their access officer
is. The RTÉ Access Officer is a member of RTÉ Corporate Human Resource team
and is responsible, where appropriate, for providing or arranging for and
co-ordinating assistance and guidance to persons with disabilities accessing
the services provided by the organisation.
Michael O’Brien, the RTÉ Access Officer, is located in Corporate HR and can be
contacted at 01 2082469<tel:01%202082469> or at
michael.obrien@xxxxxx<mailto:michael.obrien@xxxxxx>.
Complaints:
It is RTÉ’s policy that all complaints will receive meaningful replies which
attempt to address the issues raised in the complaint. Initially, complaints
about disability issues under this policy should be made to RTÉ Access Officer.
I hope this information is correct

Hi Kathleen and Paul,
I'm presuming you are both using Outlook to read Mark and Eamon's messages?
There is an issue with Outlook which can result in some messages appearing
blank when sent to a mailing list in a specific format.
Mark / Eamon, if you can make sure you are sending messages in plain text
format that would help.
You can always read the messages using another mail client such as Thunder
Bird or if using the iPhone then the iPhone mail app.
I've pasted in the contents of Mark and Eamon's messages below.

[vicsireland] RE: [vicsireland] RE: [vicsireland] RTÉ Player app
This is bad news Dave and thanks for pointing this out. It's terribe to see an
accessible service degrading because nobody is paying attention. I suggest
you contact the RTE Accessibility Officer and the RTE Player team.
The Accessibility Officer used to be Isabel Charleton but she has retired so
I'm trying to find out who has replaced her in that role. When I find out
I will talk to them myself and also give you their contact details.
The Player team can be contacted by emailing
playerfeedback@xxxxxx<mailto:playerfeedback@xxxxxx>.
On the RTE website under Access to RTÉ's Services for People with Disabilities
it says Section 26 (1) of the Disabilities Act 2005 requires a public body
to provide access to its services to people with disabilities where practical
and appropriate. If a member of the public feels that RTÉ in its provision
of services discriminates against a person with a disability a complaint may be
made to
complaints@xxxxxx<mailto:complaints@xxxxxx>.
We need to let them know that this isn't acceptable.

Hi folks,
I rarely use the player, so have no real experience as to its accessibility.
However, I have a memory in the back of my mind, that a few years ago, someone
was hired specifically to revamp the player, so it would be accessible.
Having said that though, I'm not sure if it was the radio or tv player.
Perhaps it rings a bell with some others on the list?
Mark, many thanks for the contact info. I'll certainly take a look at it now.
A very happy New Year to those on the list, and thanks for all the advice
during 2018.
Eamonn
