The Chair of the RTÉ Board Siún Ní Raghallaigh and the incoming Director General Kevin Bakhurst have confirmed that they will attend a meeting with the Minister for Media in the coming days.
Catherine Martin is seeking to discuss a number of matters, including the timeline of a Grant Thornton Review into Ryan Tubridy's pay from 2017-2019 and Government plans for an external review of RTÉ.
An exact date for the meeting has yet to be confirmed.
Separately, a spokesperson for the RTÉ Board has confirmed that Ms Ní Raghallaigh and other board members will attend the next session of the Oireachtas Media Committee.
RTÉ has not yet indicated whether members of the executive will attend.
Other invitees include the former director general Noel Curran, former chief financial officer Breda O'Keefe and former chair of the RTÉ Board Moya Doherty.
The RTÉ Board is a body made up of 12 people that makes policy for the broadcaster, while the Executive Board is a committee composed of senior management responsible for its day-to-day running.
Poll suggests executives more to blame than Tubridy
A Sunday Independent poll has suggested that the public blames the RTÉ Executive Board as a whole for the controversy over secret payments to Mr Tubridy.
The Ireland Thinks Poll, which was carried out today and yesterday, suggests 73% of people believe the RTÉ Executive Board as a whole is the most to blame.
This compares to 12% who said it was former director general Dee Forbes alone who was to blame, 7% who said it was Mr Tubridy and 4% who cited his agent Noel Kelly.
Another 4% said they were not sure.
The poll was carried out among a sample size of 1,076 people and the margin of error is +/-3%.
Options to widen scope of review of finances being considered
Options to widen the scope of the Grant Thornton review into RTÉ's finances are being considered, with the potential for the broadcaster's barter account to be included in its next phase.
Grant Thornton is currently examining Mr Tubridy's earnings between the 2017 to 2019 period.
It will also look into the salaries of top ten presenters since 2008.
The first phase of the review is due to be completed within the next three to four weeks, a timeframe that the Government has asked to be "accelerated".
It is understood that the board is also eager for the first phase of the review to be completed "as soon as possible".
Individuals from Grant Thornton have been present on the Donnybrook campus this week, as part of their review into the broadcaster's finances.
Under the terms of reference, written by the RTÉ Board's Audit and Risk Committee, it is possible to widen the scope of the Grant Thornton Review.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the RTÉ Board explained that the first phase remained a priority and that no decisions have yet been made regarding the next stage of the process.
However, it added that the board's Audit and Risk Committee is "actively considering what other matters may be included in Grant Thornton's scope of work".

Payments crisis raises questions on funding for RTÉ and public service broadcasting
Meanwhile, Minister of State Seán Fleming has said Mr Bakhurst must make changes on his first day in office and not wait a long time for reports.
Mr Bakhurst, who is a former managing director of news and current affairs and deputy director general, is due to officially take up his role later this month.
"He (Kevin Bakhurst) must act now, he has enough to go on," Mr Fleming told RTÉ's Saturday with Áine Kerr.
"The details and entrails of everything that happened will make fabulous reading. We need to get there," added the Fianna Fáil TD for Laois-Offaly.
Mr Fleming added that the people under the chairperson of the board who were involved in deception cannot continue in the same organisation and people cannot wait for an analysis or report and implementation.
"People involved in the cover-up have to face up to it now, and Kevin Bakhurst - he has to work now. We must have action now and other things will follow in due course."
Speaking on the same programme, Independent TD for Clare Michael McNamara said that Mr Bakhurst was being seen as the "great white hope" to sort out issues with RTÉ.
He said: "We need to know what he (Kevin Bakhurst) knew when he operated at a senior management position.
"He does need to clarity what he knew back then, if some of the allegations made, say that these go back to 2012."
People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Paul Murphy said that fundamental questions remain about governance at RTÉ and he called for an end to the commercial model around the organisation.
