Senior RTE executives will spend a second day being questioned on who knew what about undisclosed payments to Ryan Tubridy.

16 people, including former and current members of RTÉ’s executive and board, have been invited before the Public Accounts Committee today.

Minister Catherine Martin said yesterday's appearance by executives at the Oireachtas Media Committee 'revealed a shocking failure of governance' by senior RTE management.

Sinn Fein's Imelda Munster sat on that committee, and says RTE officials must come clean and give detailed answers, unlike those heard yesterday:

"We specifically said that we wanted truthful answers and detailed answers, and for a lot of the time we didn't get those."

"The Public Accounts Committee will have a second run at it and I hope we'll see a lot more transparency and there's still a hell of a lot of questions to be answered."
