RTÉ will be the first organisation to be invited to appear in front of the Oireachtas Media Committee, incoming chair Alan Kelly has confirmed.
Mr Kelly said that an invitation will be issued to RTÉ shortly to appear at the committee.
He made the comments after a meeting with RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst earlier.
Mr Kelly described the meeting as "pretty frank" and outlined that they discussed a wide range of topics, including redundancies, bogus self-employment and the future of the broadcaster.
He also said they discussed the Eurovision Song Contest and he registered his support for Mr Bakhurst's stance.
Mr Bakhurst said before the meeting that RTÉ will not "pull out" of the contest.
The partly failed IT system at the broadcaster was also discussed during the meeting and Mr Kelly said that Mr Bakhurst had offered more detail and documentation on the situation.
Speaking before the meeting, Mr Bakhurst said it had involved "complex projects" which were "in the public domain".
However, the Director General said that it is "very unfortunate" to lose that amount of money.
"It was in the accounts that I've discovered now...but it was dealt with at the time. It was in public. It was not hidden in any way," he said.
After the meeting, Mr Kelly said that RTÉ has committed to providing "a timeline" of everything that has happened in relation to the matter.
He also said that "it is clear to me that the department was aware of these issues" and that "we need clarity now on the institutional knowledge within the department on this".
Mr Kelly said that he "takes the DG's word" on the revelation that Mr Bakhurst only became aware of the write down on 7 March from an internal email sent to him.
He said that along with executives from RTÉ, the committee will be inviting department officials to appear too to provide more clarity.
Mr Kelly also said that they discussed people who in the past "were either unable or maybe refused to appear before committee before," adding that "we might ask them to give them a second chance".
"There was no issue from the Director General in relation to that," he stated.
'No widespread issues' of spending on abandoned projects
Meanwhile, a review has indicated that there were "not widespread issues" similar to those previously uncovered in the Arts Council, the National Gallery and RTÉ in relation to spending on abandoned projects, the Minister for Arts, Culture, Communications, Media and Sport Patrick O'Donovan has said.
But Mr O'Donovan said that Dáil committees "may very well unearth something that we haven't unearthed".
Following revelations concerning spending on unrealised projects in the Arts Council and the National Gallery, he told the Dáil that he had ordered a review of capital projects that have cost over €500,000 since 2020.
Speaking during Priority Questions, he noted that he had also asked for information on smaller projects which may deserve attention.
The minister said that he had "wanted assurance in relation to capital expenditure in other areas".
He said he received the report "recently".
"You're right that €10m, with regards to the Arts Council and RTÉ, would make a huge difference in respect of individual sports clubs," he told Sinn Féin TD Joanna Byrne, who said that the money those agencies had spent could have provided important funding to local bodies.
Mr O'Donovan said that now that the public accounts and media committees are up and running, "they will probably want to look at this as well, and they may very well unearth something that we haven't unearthed, and if they do I'd welcome that as well".
