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

Yes. Can I ask that that correspondence be also made public? I find it absolutely unbelievable and astonishing that without any agreements, side letters or any of that, the whole thing is extraordinary in the first instance. When we are dealing with an organisation that, on the face of it and publicly stating it was on its knees, we had people who were falsely being put on bogus self-employment contracts, and to see that process now at the same time as all of this is playing out in the public, that staff members of RTÉ who were put on bogus self-employment contracts felt they were pressurised into taking payments of between €5,000 and I think €17,000, being pressurised into taking those payments, and at the same time we see all of this play out. It absolutely undermines the credibility of RTÉ-----
