RTE director general Kevin Bakhurst arrives at Leinster House, Dublin.

RTÉ’s Director General Kevin Bakhurst is to seek legal advice in relation to the disclosure of further details of individual exit packages from the national broadcaster.

Mr Bakhurst made the commitment to Media Minister Catherine Martin after they spoke by phone following the latest revelation at an Oireachtas committee that former Chief Financial Officer Breda O’Keeffe received €450,000 when she left RTÉ.
