The Chair of the Oireachtas Media Committee describes RTÉ's appearance at the committee this afternoon as "farcical".
Management at the broadcaster spent the meeting defending the external appointment of Ger Gilroy to a new sports podcast and discussed the budget funding shortfall announced last month.
RTÉ admits Mr. Gilroy didn't apply for the role - but denied he was headhunted.
It says there were 20 internal applications among roughly 100 expressions of interest.
RTÉ management admits there is unhappiness in its sports department over the appointments process for a new podcast hosted by Ger Gilroy.
They say a proper process was followed when poaching Mr. Gilroy from Newstalk.
