Minister Catherine Martin has confirmed that two separate reviews will take place of "the fundamental causes of the failures in RTE".
The public service broadcaster is at the centre of a payments scandal after it was discovered Ryan Tubridy was paid €345,000 extra in monies that wasn’t publicly declared over a five year period.
The first review of RTE will "examine and make recommendations on the measures necessary to build stronger governance structures and to reform the organisational culture" within the broadcaster. This review will be overseen by Professor Niamh Brennan, Dr. Margaret Cullen and a third person who will be appointed in the coming days.
