RTE management have an incredible job of work ahead of them if they are to regain public trust according to a local Senator.
The Media Minister says it doesn't appear proper approval procedures were followed in the payment of a generous exit package to an RTE senior executive.
It was revealed yesterday the broadcaster's former CFO, Breda O’Keeffe, was paid 450-thousand euro when she left her job in 2020.
RTE's current Director General told the Oireachtas Media Committee yesterday many people in RTE had no knowledge of the exit package.
Local Senator Micheal Carrigy sits on the Oireachtas Media Committee and attended yesterday's hearing.
He believes major changes are needed within upper management at the national broadcaster if public faith is to be restored.
