Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Breda O'Keeffe:
That is a tough one. I worked for RTÉ for 18 years. Of that, eight years were as CFO. I hope I did some good. I am proud of the organisation and what we achieve. I am still proud of what we do. It is important to me and my reputation, but also a bit for the organisation. There are an awful lot of people in the organisation. Maybe I am wandering off my own script here today because I feel very strongly about this. There are an awful of people currently in the organisation who work so hard for the organisation. RTÉ was challenged with a very broken funding model, so we had constant challenges at reducing costs over the years. I wanted to set the record straight with my recollections of events. I hope I have done that.
