Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Geraldine O'Leary:
The client was very clear from the beginning that it would have to be cost neutral and that he did not have any incremental money. By the time it came to July, when we were raising the credit note, a large part of the value of what Renault should have gotten through its "Late Late Show" sponsorship had not happened because a key part of its broadcast sponsorship, which is the three-year contract I referred to earlier, included 20 tickets per week and hospitality at RTÉ. That value did not happen from 20 March through to September because of Covid.
