The Chief Financial Officer for RTÉ has resigned from her post, less than 18 months after taking up the position.
Mari Hurley took up the role as CFO in August 2024 after Richard Collins left the post following the Ryan Tubridy controversy.
In a statement, the broadcaster said Ms Hurley "has decided to leave her role as RTÉ's Chief Financial Officer to take up a new position outside RTÉ. Mari will remain with RTÉ until spring".
RTÉ's Director General Kevin Bakhurst said: "Since she joined RTÉ in 2024, Mari has provided excellent professional advice, insight and support to me and to the leadership team in what has been a challenging time for the organisation.
"I would like to thank her for the significant amount that she has achieved during her time in RTÉ which has been helpful in putting the organisation back on a financially sustainable path.
"Mari has been meticulous in dealing with legacy issues as we put a robust governance framework in place for the future and we are grateful to her for that," added Mr Bakhurst.
Mari Hurley said: "RTÉ continues to perform a vital role for Irish audiences as a public service media organisation. The extensive work we have done during my time in RTÉ has been an important part of the delivery of greater governance across the organisation.
"I would like to wish Kevin, the Board and all my colleagues at RTÉ every success as they continue the significant transformation programme under way at RTÉ."
Minister for Arts Patrick O'Donovan issued a statement saying he had been informed of the resignation of Ms Hurley.
"The Minister wishes to thank Ms Hurley for her service and wishes her well in the future.
"He will be engaging with the Chair and Director General of RTÉ in the coming days," added the statement.
In May 2025, RTÉ said it had written down a figure of €3.6m on a partly failed IT system, which was one of the projects funded from the proceeds of the sale of land at its Dublin site in 2017.
RTÉ confirmed that it will shortly seek applications for a new Chief Financial Officer.
