Dáil’s spending watchdog seeks five documents from RTÉ over €345,000 payments scandal

The Dáil’s spending watchdog has said it is seeking a further meeting with RTÉ management and fresh documentation regarding the recent pay controversy.

The Public Accounts Committee is demanding five key additional documents before having a further meeting with officials from the broadcaster, its chairman Brian Stanley said in a statement on Friday.

These documents include a copy of the “side letter” between Ryan Tubridy’s agent Noel Kelly and former RTÉ director general Dee Forbes.
