The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has called for Ryan Tubridy and former RTÉ director general Dee Forbes to appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in connection with the ongoing payments scandal which has brought the broadcaster to its knees.

Speaking following a meeting of the NUJ’s broadcasting branch, called to discuss the fallout from the scandal on Friday, NUJ secretary Seamus Dooley stressed that the voices of ordinary RTÉ workers need to be heard in the coming external review of RTÉ’s corporate governance.
