Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)

In her opening statement, Ms Ní Raghallaigh said she is deeply unhappy about the evident pattern of inconsistency and lack of completeness in the provision of information to date by the executive. Before her time, RTÉ appeared before the Committee of Public Accounts on five occasions and when it came to bogus self-employment, it seemed to mislead the committee. It is time for our public sector broadcaster to hold its hands up and to say that the time of bogus self-employment is over. I wonder how the people who are on these contracts feel when they see other special deals happening. I raised this the other day. How many workers are involved in the Department of Social Protection's investigation, which is significant, into RTÉ? How many examinations have concluded?
I have a question for the CFO. How much contingent liability has RTÉ provided for in terms of money that might be owed to Revenue?
