Mayo TD blasts RTÉ for “big mistake” in accepting Dee Forbes’ resignation

Speaking on RTÉ Six One news this evening, Mayo TD Alan Dillon, a member of the public accounts committee has been in attendance hearing the marathon session from RTÉ executives.

The public broadcaster has delved into a disaster since the revelations over undeclared payments to presenter Ryan Tubridy.

Deputy Dillon stated it was a “big mistake” by RTÉ to accept Dee Forbes's “resignation.”

The former Director General resigned last week amid the scandal and under the broadcasting act this means she no longer has to present herself to the Oireachtas for questioning.
