Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Malcolm Byrne (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I thank Mr. Bakhurst. I have a number of specific questions around some of the issues. Mr. Fives might be able to respond. The Grant Thornton report, which kickstarted all of this process, determined that there were a number of under-declarations, that those under-declarations were not made on the part of Ryan Tubridy and Noel Kelly and that the RTÉ board was correct in its actions as soon as it became aware of correcting the record on this. Yet, Grant Thornton was not able to identify the reasons for that. This follows on from Senator Carrigy's question. Mr. Fives has now gone into the financial role. Is he any the wiser as to who was responsible for making those decisions to underreport?
