The Chair of the RTÉ board has said the labelling of payments to Ryan Tubridy in filings were "an act designed to deceive".
Siún Ní Raghallaigh has told an Oireachtas committee she's appalled at the revelations in recent days and there will be a review of how RTÉ spends money starting with the highest earners.
Separately the Public Accounts Committee has been told RTÉ's day-to-day management team will be reconstituted under the incoming Director General Kevin Bakhurst.
Board chair Siún Ní Raghallaigh says there will need to be a cultural transformation within RTÉ coming from the top down:
"As a trained accountant under former financial controller, I am appalled as to how payments were recorded and presented in the RTÉ accounts. What was the motivation here? It appears to me that this was an act designed to deceive."
