It comes after Irish premier Leo Varadkar said he could not rule out the possibility that some payments made by RTE may have been on the wrong side of the law.
“I don’t think we can rule out the fact that it’s not just a case of irregular payments, that some of these payments may have been on the wrong side of the law. But don’t want to jump to that conclusion.”
