There have been repeated calls for the broadcaster to be examined by the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) since it was rocked by a financial controversy in June 2023 when it was revealed former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy’s wages had been under declared by €345,000.
RTÉ’s finances will be fully assessed by the official State auditor under plans to be discussed by Cabinet this Tuesday morning.
Media Minister Catherine Martin will bring plans to Cabinet this Tuesday morning to underpin further reforms and supports for public sector broadcasting. Elsewhere, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will seek Cabinet approval to amend Assisted Human Reproduction legislation. Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman, meanwhile, will ask Government to approve ratification of the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
