The Government's patience with RTÉ is "getting pretty low" with the drip feed of information, according to Higher Education Minister Simon Harris.

Mr Harris said the controversy is "doing extraordinary damage” to the broadcaster, adding: "We need RTÉ to get back to commissioning drama, not being the drama."
