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

Mr. Richard Collins:

I cannot comment on what happened on years before that. All I can comment is what I know. The control of the barter account stayed in commercial. Finance's role, at the end of the day, was a bookkeeping role to bring it onto the accounts at the end of year. That is how it has continued the past couple of years. The main thing here is that the barter account has been brought onto the balance sheet and it is visible. As a result of that, the auditors were able to pick up the issues that happened, and we are here today as a result of that.
