Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Marie Sherlock (Labour) | Oireachtas source
I thank Ms O'Leary.
I have two final questions. On Toy Show the Musical, I get that risk is part and parcel of any arts programming. Certainly, the show did not work out as intended. I believe the revenue was 15% of what RTÉ had forecast in quarter 2 last year. Mr. Coveney referred to the project as being multi-annual. What were his expectations for years two and three of the project? Is the show still incurring costs? Are there contractual arrangements relating to it that RTÉ is still tied into?
