Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Richard Collins:
I did not say that. What I said was that I was aware of this contract and, I said, the commercial contract. I was asked to conclude the five-year contract. Regarding the commercial contract, I was aware that RTÉ was trying to broker an arrangement with a sponsor to boost Ryan Tubridy's earnings. I was aware of that, but I was never involved at any stage in those negotiations nor did I contribute to them.
