RT\u00c9 is funded by a licence fee and the government has insisted that management must provide full clarity on payments made to Mr Tubridy.<\/p>\n
It is expected that the government’s examination will take six months.<\/p>\n
The governance review will be overseen by an expert advisory committee including Prof Niamh Brennan, Dr Margaret Cullen and a third member to be appointed in the coming days.<\/p>\n
The second review committee will be led by Brendan McGinty, Patricia King and a third member.<\/p>\n
Both committees will work in parallel and coordinate where applicable and they will be supported by a team from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. <\/p>\n
A government spokesperson said: “The comprehensive examination announced by the Minister today will scrutinise governance, culture, and practices in RT\u00c9 in an unprecedented manner. <\/p>\n
“These measures are necessary to ensure that public service broadcasting is open, transparent and accountable to the public.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
