New RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst will face his first Oireachtas grilling this Thursday morning as TDs quiz him on how he will turn the beleaguered broadcaster around.
Former Director General Noel Curran will also attend the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to face questions on the broadcaster’s finances. He will not, however, be at the Leinster House complex and will join the meeting virtually.
It comes two days after Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly accused RTÉ of not being fully truthful about the payment scandal.
