Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion
Mr. Adrian Lynch:
Yes, I will explain that. The Taoiseach mentioned "events" specifically. What the statement said was what was published. What was it that impacted what was published? I will explain what that was. As I said before, the guarantee was a commercial decision which came with risk. It meant that when that risk was activated, it had an impact on the figures that were published. So in terms of Senator Dooley's follow-on question, which is around events, no one is sitting here and saying that any of this is good practice. Let me be absolutely clear about that.
