Mr. Kelly is putting the sole blame on RTÉ regarding this fiasco. Why did he ask RTÉ, a public body, to guarantee payments due from Renault, a substantial private company, to have Mr. Tubridy's commercial obligations underwritten with taxpayers' money? Mr. Tubridy always said on "The Late Late Show" that we were all in it together, but this money was public money. Does Mr. Kelly think that is acceptable?
