The Taoiseach has said evidence at the Public Accounts Committee by RTÉ yesterday has raised questions about company law being followed.
The broadcaster's Chief Financial Officer Richard Collins said in his view the public may have been defrauded by secret payments to Ryan Tubridy.
He also told the Committee the former Director General informed him the payments were consultancy fees for Ryan Tubridy's agent - rather than direct payments.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was asked in Brussels whether there's a case for the gardaí to investigate here:
"I'm not sure we're at that point yet. But it did concern me to hear that, it would appear, payments were made by RTE to outside contractors for work that wasn't actually done."
"That does raise issues in terms of accounting rules and company law."
