Once work on the reviews begin, they are expected to be completed in six months
Stephen PorzioMinister for Media Catherine Martin has announced that she will be commissioning an"independent, root and branch examination" ofIt comes after the RTÉ Board last month revealed that the former Late Late host's annual earnings between 2017 and 2022 had been understated by the broadcaster. The board said that Tubridy was paid over €300,000 more during this time than initially declared.
Martin said that this latter review will have a particular focus on"gender equality, diversity and inclusion and including issues that have been raised with me by RTÉ staff representative bodies". The reviews will each be directed by two different three-person Expert Advisory Committees. These will oversee the work of a professional services firm that will be appointed to work on the assessments.According to the Media Minister, the committees will work in parallel and coordinate where applicable and will be supported by a team from her department.
"That trust has been shattered. The independent, root and branch examination of RTÉ I am announcing today is the beginning of our efforts to restore that trust."Meanwhile, to further underpin the work of the committees, the Minister will invoke her powers under the Broadcasting Act 2009 to appoint a forensic accountant to examine the records of accounts of RTÉ.
