A crunch meeting between Minister Catherine Martin and the director of the RTÉ Board has been brought forward by several days amid a political clamour for answers about the Ryan Tubridy pay scandal.
The Media Minister confirmed on Friday that she was first made aware that an issue had arisen during an audit in March. She insisted, however, that she only learned what the issue was and who it involved this week.
Three Oireachtas Committees have now called for RTÉ, suspended Director General Dee Forbes and even Tubridy to answer questions about the saga.
