Pressure was last night mounting on RTE to give gardai access to its books as the Rural Independents Group declared: "Bring in the fraud squad."

"I hold serious doubts about the upcoming committee meeting’s ability to reveal the complete truth to the public. Last night, RTE confirmed the chair of its board Siun Ni Raghallaigh and incoming director general Kevin Bakhurst will attend a meeting with the Media Minister within days. The Irish Sunday Mirror understands RTE has been asked to hand over specific documents ahead of Wednesday’s meeting of the Oireachtas Media Committee.

The Public Accounts Committee has reportedly made a separate list of demands, among them a request from Alan Kelly TD for details of the barter account going back 20 years. The Cabinet is due to meet in coming days to discuss the terms of reference of an external review of RTE.
