Mr. Adrian Lynch:

Looking at the substance of the issue, which is that a commercial decision was made to give an undertaking to underwrite a commercial agreement, that is a commercial decision that comes with risks. When the wheels came off the bus slightly with that, it then meant that was activated and money was paid directly from RTÉ to Ryan Tubridy. That then impacted the accounts we published. The Deputy can ask everyone individually here. I can say, hand on heart, that I knew absolutely nothing about that. I had no idea that a guarantee had been given regarding this arrangement.
