Dee Forbes says she's deeply sorry for what has happened and her part in the episode, and she's apologised unreservedly to everyone.
She adds the RTE Board has not treated her with anything approaching the levels of fairness, equity and respect that anyone should expect as an employee, a colleague or a person.
