The review will examine matters back as far as 2008. Asked if she believed that the new host of The Late Late Show Patrick Kielty should reveal his salary, Ms Martin said that was an "operational matter for RTÉ".
The Minister said that anyone named in RTE's "comprehensive statement", which will be published on Tuesday afternoon and must contain the names of people other than former Director General Dee Forbes about the Tubridy review, must appear in front of Oireachtas committees.
