Last night.
Fine Gael Senator Kieran O’Donnell, from Limerick, announced that he had written to the Oireachtas communications committee and asked it to invite RTÉ Board chair Moya Doherty and RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes to appear before the committee and answer questions about the future of Lyric FM.
It follows the Limerick Leader exclusively reporting yesterday that, in late September, the University of Limerick president Dr Des Fitzgerald wrote to Ms Forbes offering to “help sustain” Lyric FM by accommodating the station on the university’s campus.
Yesterday: Moya’s Merry Dance
Ah; now I see why Moya went for the new goofy glasses:
She wanted to ditch this nun-on-a-shopping-trip look
Ask Moya and John about RTÉ/EBU resources being used to create Riverdance while you’re at it.
