Muireann DuffyRTÉ has confirmed the appointment of Mari Hurley as the broadcaster's new chief financial officer (CFO). Ms Hurley takes over the position from Richard Collins, who left the role in October amid the fallout of the payments scandal at the national broadcaster. Ms Hurley has previously held the role of CFO at AA Ireland, the operator of the National Lottery, Premier Lotteries Ireland, and the Sherry FitzGerald Group. Details of a €450,000 exit payment made to Ms O'Keeffe emerged as RTÉ representatives appeared before the Oireachtas Media Committee last month. Ms Martin has since faced strong criticism over her handling of the matter, appearing before the Oireachtas Media Committee on Tuesday to face questions from TDs and Senators.
