Bringing RTÉ under the remit of the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General is a “sensible” thing to do, Further and Higher Education Minister Simon Harris has said.

His comments follow a recommendation by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in a report which is due to be published with 20 measures on Tuesday.
