RTE dismisses sports producer Kieran Creaven with immediate effect
It comes after he pleaded guilty to sexual offences at Leeds Crown Court.
54-year-old Mr Creaven admitted to one charge of grooming a child and another charge of inciting a child to carry out a sexual act.
He was confronted by so-called paedophile hunters last month when he travelled to the UK to meet what he thought was a 13-year-old girl.
He's been remanded on bail and will reappear in court in February to be sentenced.
