Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Rory Coveney:
Yes. We looked at a couple of different venues. They were a similar size. We had discussions with the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre at one stage. It did not want to do it and we ended up in the convention centre. There are not that many venues in Dublin that are not owned by certain proprietors, so it is not that easy to just go and pick a theatre. Ms Doherty might be able to give more insight into that. We ended up in the convention centre and we felt it was the right size for the type of show we wanted to put on, but obviously we were incorrect.
