Government Likely To Withhold RTÉ Support Until After Reform

The broadcaster remains under scrutiny following the payments scandal.

Government is likely to withhold financial support for RTÉ until reforms to the broadcaster are made.

The broadcaster is being pressed, to provide documents relating to undeclared payments to presenter Ryan Tubridy, by the Public Accounts Committee.

The body says it would also like to see the broadcaster's former Director General Dee Forbes, former chief financial officer Breda O'Keeffe, former commercial director Geraldine O’Leary and Director of Content Jim Jennings appear before it.

Chairperson of the Committee and Laois Offaly Sinm Féin TD Deputy Brian Stanley said information in relation to taxation around a number of payments to Ryan Tubridy needed to be provided to the Committee.
