Regarding any agreement that Mr. Kelly had with RTÉ, in the account that he gave to the auditors, he said that if “the Commercial Brand did not pay the €75,000 to the Talent” - there was no mention of any services being rendered or additional services being provided - “that RTÉ would be obliged to step in and pay the Talent this sum.” That is the simple account, the honest account, the accurate account of the arrangement that was in place.
