There's a call on the RTE Director General for "full disclosure" on the pay packages for four RTE executives.

Kevin Bakhurst revealed over the weekend Rory Coveney accepted an exit payment when he stood down as Director of Strategy.

He didn't say how much, but it's understood he received around 200 thousand euro when he left the role.

Media Committee Chair Niamh Smyth says the full cost of them must be revealed:

"We've seen exit-packages almost hitting half a million. We still have to get information around Mr. Coveney's package. We still have to get information around Mr. Collin's package, and there may be others. I think it's really, really important that the Director General, the chair, and the board come absolutely clean with the Minister, the committee and the public as to what all of these packages, the full sum total figure of what cost to the organisation is at this point".
