It is not agreed. The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, refuses to answer questions when she comes before the Dáil tomorrow. The same Minister was quite prepared to go on live television and, without prior notice, sack Ms Siún Ní Raghallaigh but is not prepared to come before the Chamber and answer questions. The Minister has badly mishandled the RTÉ debacle and has now added to the chaos. A lack of transparency and accountability has broken public trust in RTÉ and it now seems the Minister is not prepared to be fully transparent and accountable. That is not an acceptable situation so we press that the Minister not just make a statement, but also take questions, when she appears before the House.
