Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Katherine Licken:

We work very closely with RTÉ but we do not look at individual transactions. That is not our role. NewERA is formally assigned to the Department as an adviser to it on RTÉ's finances but it has been working with us for several years. We meet RTÉ regularly. We look at its cashflows and its profit and loss account. NewERA does an analysis of that. NewERA did an analysis last year, for example, on the interim funding request and did it again.
