McGrath 'hopes and expects' Dee Forbes will come before Oireachtas after signing off accounts 

Mr McGrath was speaking after it emerged that Ms Forbes signed off last week on the annual accounts for the management company of the gated community in West Cork where she lives.

Dee Forbes has been unavailable to attend any of the Oireachtas hearings into the Tubridy pay controversies for 'medical reasons'.

Finance Minister Michael McGrath said he “hopes and expects” that former RTÉ director general Dee Forbes will come before an Oireachtas committee “as soon as she is well enough” to answer questions on the Ryan Tubridy payments controversy.
