Several people have made a point about the seventh untruth. Ryan Tubridy said in his statement:

[B]ecause of how RTÉ reported that decision in its accounts, the narrative of the last three weeks has been that not only did I take this payment but that I somehow contrived to hide it. Let me reiterate: I actually waived my entitlement to this payment...

We have heard from Ms Ní Raghallaigh and Mr. Shortt. Everybody now knows this was not paid. With regard to the €120,000 and how it was reported, I can understand why Mr. Tubridy feels there was reputational damage.

I am struggling with all these reviews. They are costing a lot of money. We have Grant Thornton and Mazars. We know Eversheds Sutherland was involved over the years. There is a whole industry of reviews in RTÉ. Is there any idea of how much this is costing?
