Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Micheál Carrigy (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Is it the case, therefore, that out of the blue, RTÉ or Jim Jennings decided to email Geraldine O'Leary to tell her they needed to invoice ASTUS? It was stated - although I cannot recall who said it - in one of the previous meetings, that there was pressure put on for these two amounts to be paid. I would like to see correspondence in order that I can see who elicited that pressure and where that pressure came from for these invoices to be raised. I will be asking for the same from RTÉ, for its documentation. I will ask both witnesses to provide that to the committee, because it would be beneficial to show how the conversation started.
