RTÉ are appearing before the Oireachtas Media Committee.
A Midlands TD is questioning the recruitment processes RTE used to hire a new podcast presenter.
Top officials are admitting before the Oireachtas Media Committee there has been unhappiness in its sports department over the appointments process for a new podcast hosted by Ger Gilroy.
They say a proper process was followed when poaching Mr. Gilroy from Newstalk.
Longford-Westmeath TD and Media Committee Micheal Carrigy believes Mr Gilroy was headhunted for the role, despite an expression of interest also being posted for the role.
Director of Audio at RTE Patricia Monahan has been defending the appointment with Deputy Carrigy saying otherwise:
