It is important to point out that the reason we here in the first instance relates to a shady deal involving payments to Mr. Tubridy, a cover-up and the ultimate exposure of that cover-up. Unfortunately, however, we do not have all the facts. We have the Grant Thornton audit report but we do not have the facts relating to the 2017 to 2019 payments. The opening paragraphs of the Grant Thornton audit report refer to Mr. Tubridy's previous contract, from 2015 to 2020, and the basis on which negotiations commenced with regard to the new contract. The report states there was an opportunity for cost-saving, whereby "RTÉ would no longer be liable for the end of contract fee that was due in 2020". How much was that end-of-contract fee at the end of 2020?
