Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ryan Tubridy:
Unfortunately not. This is one of the great fog of war situations. The money that came in - an enormous amount of money; I do not deny that for a moment - came, as we understood it, from Renault. We thought it was a side agreement. It was a totally different agreement entirely. It was an independent contractor agreement that Renault was paying for. That was the understanding. That is what I was told and I had to accept that for what it is. I cannot operate in a sort of never-never land.
