Former RTÉ chairwoman Moya Doherty told a consultant investigating the genesis of flop show Toy Show: The Musical that approval for the event had been given by the board as “no objections” had been raised.

Ahead of RTÉ’s latest appearance before the Oireachtas media committee on Wednesday, a deanonymised version of the Grant Thornton report into the musical, which posted a €2.3m loss after its month-long run in December 2022, shows that the majority of the broadcaster’s board believed approval for the musical should have been voted upon before it came to fruition.
