Ms. Forbes won't be appearing before either Oireachtas Committee today or tomorrow.
It's "hard to believe" Dee Forbes is the only woman in the building at RTÉ that knew the full truth about Ryan Tubridy's payments.
That's what midlands Senator Michéal Carrigy is saying before members of the broadcaster's board appear before Mr. Carrigy and the Oireachtas Media Committee this afternoon.
The now former Director General of RTÉ will not be appearing before the committee today, or the Public Accounts Committee tomorrow.
She's citing ill-health as the reason.
Mr. Carrigy says the State broadcaster has an obligation to the public and the public's representatives:
