RTÉ publishes €435,000 tender for printing services as minister slams 'disrespect' for staff

Tánaiste Micheál Martin told the Dáil he is dismayed by the 'clear absence' of proper governance at the broadcaster.

Golden handshakes at RTÉ are part of "a culture of the past" where there is little to no oversight, the Media Minister has said.

An external report into severance deals at RTÉ found that an exit package for its former chief financial officer was “not considered and approved” by the company's executive board, something Catherine Martin said was "quite shocking".
