Media Minister Catherine Martin has declined to express confidence in RTÉ board chair Siún Ní Raghallaigh, after further revelations that the board approved Richard Collins’ exit package.

Ms Martin told RTÉ’s Prime Time that she sought several assurances from Ms Ní Raghallaigh that the board had no role in approving exit packages.
