Catherine Martin has handled RTÉ crisis 'very badly', says Shortall

Media Minister Catherine Martin is to come before the Oireachtas media committee on Tuesday at 7pm.

Media Minister Catherine Martin has handled the ongoing RTÉ crisis “very badly”, Social Democrats TD Róisín Shortall has said.

Speaking at Leinster House this morning, Ms Shortall said that while Ms Martin has handled other areas of her brief very well, there was a “serious blunder” last week leading to the resignation of the RTÉ board chair Siún Ní Raghallaigh.
