Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Paul Mulligan:

I would like to make an additional comment, please. The chairman referred to in the book was actually chairman of RTE between the years 2000 and 2005. From a commercial revenue point of view, they were not the biggest years. The year 2004 was the first year we actually started to make any money in the boom period as such. He actually was not the chairman for the boom period, but putting a name like that into it makes a point. There is another point I would make. I do not mean to be facetious, but if he was a director of Anglo Irish Bank, RTE never received any money or any advertising or content or anything from that bank. If there was cross-pollination, it certainly did not happen in relation to revenue to RTE.
