The new RTE Director General has said that the influence that certain agents have on the national broadcaster is "unhealthy".

Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly will appear before the PAC tomorrow morning before meeting with the Oireachtas Media Committee in the afternoon.

The pair will discuss the ongoing RTE financial scandal after it emerged the national broadcaster failed to disclose €345,000 of additional payments to Ryan Tubridy between 2017 to 2022.

Speaking this afternoon, Kevin Bakhurst said he will examine the broadcaster's future relationship with any agents:

"I don't wanna single out an individual agent.

"I don't think it's personally healthy that any single agent has such power in any particular country.

"So, you know, we'll be looking at our future relationship with agents and how we deal with them."
