A member of the Oireachtas’ Public Accounts Committee has accused Dee Forbes of "running from the battlefield" by resigning as Director General of RTÉ.
The Irish Mirror understands that Ms Forbes is "very unlikely" to attend two Oireachtas committee meetings this week to answer questions about the pay scandal currently engulfing the national broadcaster.
The Oireachtas Media Committee and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) had called on Ms Forbes, who was suspended from her role as Director General (DG) last week, to attend meetings on Wednesday and Thursday.
