Caherine Martin said information that has come to light recently has 'illustrated just how pervasive and deep-seated the governance and other failings in RTÉ have been'.
A MEETING BETWEEN Media Minister Catherine Martin and members of the RTÉ board into the ongoing payments controversy has been brought forward to today.
Martin said RTÉ chair Ní Raghallaigh told her that this is “totally unacceptable” and that “swift action will be taken”. In his opening statement to the Oireachtas Media Committee yesterday, Adrian Lynch said: “I am acutely aware of the accusations of drip-feed, of non-cooperation and lack of transparency.
RTÉ, which is sustained through public funds and commercial revenues, has also faced criticism for using barter transactions to spend hundreds of thousands of euro entertaining commercial clients, including on a trip to the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
