It comes hours after Labour called for Ms Martin to resign, saying she has 'utterly decimated' any chance for RTÉ to recover in the short term

Sinn Féin has called on Media Minister Catherine Martin to answer questions in the Dáil over the ongoing crisis at RTÉ, following the resignation of Siún Ní Raghallaigh overnight.

Ms Ní Raghallaigh resigned after Ms Martin failed to express confidence in her. The sudden departure followed revelations that Ms Martin had been “misinformed” about the approval of an exit package for a former RTÉ executive.
