RTÉ in Crisis
Coalition fully behind Catherine Martin, says Paschal Donohoe
Media minister will be grilled by the media committee following the resignation of the RTÉ chair
Government party leaders are fully behind Catherine Martin, the media minister, and her handling of the latest RTÉ scandal, the minister for public expenditure has said.
Martin will on Tuesday face an Oireachtas committee to answer questions on the resignation of Siún Ní Raghallaigh, the chairwoman of the RTÉ board.
Ní Raghallaigh resigned some hours after Martin refused to express confidence in her as head of the RTÉ board during an interview on Prime Time.
