Public Accounts Committee
Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ

Mr. Adrian Lynch:
I totally agree with the Deputy that it is the crux of the matter. The only evidence we have of the credit note and the two payments, and who had the conversation - because there is no email evidence - in terms of this barter account is that there was an instruction from the director general to the director of commercial to have these invoices raised. That happened in the period of time which was, if the Deputy remembers, when NK Management came looking for what was rightfully theirs in January, February, March of 2022. They were looking to be paid, rightfully, for year 2 and year 3. We know because of the evidence we have supplied that the Renault agreement had expired, Renault were not doing six more events-----
