Catherine Martin faces Oireachtas showdown over RTÉ's 'golden handshakes'

With the political issue of RTÉ’s governance showing no sign of dying down anytime soon, Media Minister Catherine Martin faces tough questions

Media Minister Catherine Martin is to come before the Oireachtas media committee on Tuesday at 7pm.

How has it come to this?

What started with an RTÉ statement about misstated payments to Ryan Tubridy in June of last year has rumbled into a ninth month saga, claimed the radio spot of the former Late Late Show host, seen members of the executive of the broadcaster resign or retire early, and now sees RTÉ without a chairperson.
