The Government is to move on Tuesday to have RTÉ’s finances audited by the State’s spending watchdog, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG).

Joining Ciara and Shane to discuss this is Seán Defoe, Political Correspondent for Newstalk and Dr Fionola Doyle-O’Neill, Broadcast Historian at the School of History at University College Cork.
