Terry Prone: Siún Ní Raghallaigh resigns. The RTÉ caravan moves on. The roadkill continues

She told officials the details of the financial controller’s departure from RTÉ, back when it happened. When she specifically did not, this week, tell the Minister those same details, the Minister, subsequently finding them out, went as near bananas as Catherine Martin ever goes, twice refusing to publicly express confidence in Siún Ní Raghallaigh. 

Not a stake-in-the-heart the way expressing no confidence would have been, but at least a stake-in-the-chest.
