Independent film and television companies are seeking a meeting with the RTE board and media minister to discuss steps to improve transparency and governance within the national broadcaster.

Representative body Screen Producers Ireland (SPI) said it was “gravely concerned” about the situation at RTE following a scandal over undisclosed payments to star presenter Ryan Tubridy.
