The Public Accounts Committee is to call up to 10 people either employed by or who are former employees of RTÉ before it in a bid to get to the bottom of the saga involving undeclared payments to presenter Ryan Tubridy.

At a private meeting of the committee, which was joined by officials from the Office of Parliamentary Legal Advisers, members discussed the areas of the scandal they want to probe in detail, and agreed former employees of RTÉ should be considered for invitations in order to get the full picture of what transpired.
