Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Adrian Lynch:
Mr. Bakhurst has had a series of very senior roles, including director of news at the BBC, where he led a lot of its digital transformation. He worked in RTÉ for three or four years, where he came in at a time of crisis and absolutely turned around the newsroom. He then moved as director of broadcast to Ofcom, which is a very serious UK regulator. In terms of governance, he was specifically responsible for the running of the BBC, in particular from a governance and reporting point of view and in terms of the expenditure of public moneys.
