The Media Minister is willing to make another committee appearance amid calls for her to explain her role in the resignation of the RTÉ board chairwoman, the Taoiseach has said.

Opposition politicians have continued to criticise Minister Catherine Martin for a media interview she gave hours before Siún Ní Raghallaigh resigned over a dispute on her role in approving a severance package for an RTÉ executive.
