Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I have a question for Ms O'Keeffe. In terms of credit, section 1.12(b) of the Grant Thornton report states: "RTÉ raised a credit in July 2020 of €75,000 with the Commercial Brand [and we know that to be Renault] on their airtime spend so in effect RTÉ funded the €75,000 payment to Talent [whom we know to be Mr. Tubridy]." As I understand it, that is a voucher for revenue for advertisements that Renault could use at a later date.
The document published by RTÉ on 22 June shows Mr. Tubridy's published earnings versus his actual earnings. I would like to query the figures for 2020.
