TDs call for Ryan Tubridy to appear before Oireachtas committees

Fine Gael TD for Mayo Alan Dillon: 'I believe he should be present to explain something which has led to a stain on Ryan Tubridy’s career. 

Two members of the Oireachtas committees which have invited RTÉ to appear before emergency hearings into the secret payments to Ryan Tubridy this week have called on the broadcaster to give his testimony.

Fine Gael TD for Mayo Alan Dillon, who is a member of both the media committee and the public accounts committee (PAC), told the Irish Examiner he has written to urge the PAC to invite Mr Tubridy to appear, along with senior RTÉ personnel including its director general and head of finance.
