The Media Minister believes the RTÉ Board should remain in place - for now.

Minister Catherine Martin says a Grant Thornton report into Toy Show The Musical highlights "serious failings" in governance, oversight and financial management.

The RTÉ Board acknowledged a significant lapse in oversight, with the report into the €2.2 euro flop showing a 'significant risk' it would never break even.

Minister Catherine Martin, says she's waiting for government-Commissioned reports on the RTE saga - and says the board will stay for the time being.

"Certainly the Board didn't ask the key questions, and weren't provided with the information, and approval was never on an agenda of any meeting, and was never in minutes.

"They've acknowledged now that those questions should have been asked, and the project should have been interrogated.

"What I'm saying is that I have confidence in the chair, and I have confidence in how the board is working now."
