Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion

Mr. Adrian Lynch:

If you look at the line that is actually written, it is about which members of the executive board had knowledge that the published figures were incorrect. As we have discussed, there is controversy around the top ten and when they get published, so it is about which members were actually presenting figures that were incorrect to the Houses of the Oireachtas. Why did that happen? Looking at the documentation that is available, on 7 May, a verbal guarantee was given to underwrite the commercial arrangement with Ryan Tubridy, which was completely lawful and so on, but then through Covid that commercial arrangement fell by the wayside.
