Enterprise Minister Simon Coveney has confirmed that he will continue to recuse himself from discussions regarding RTÉ despite his brother’s resignation from the embattled broadcaster.
Rory Coveney, the former Director of Strategy at RTE, resigned from his role on Sunday following controversy over the Toy Show the Musical flop.
He made the announcement the evening before the new Director General Kevin Bakhurst confirmed he was standing down the Executive Board in the wake of the Ryan Tubridy pay scandal.
