Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

I can answer both those questions. On the question about Ryan Tubridy and his salary, he had already agreed that we would put that in the public domain. I already had agreement from him and the expectation at that stage was we would sign a contract with him. He had agreed that his salary and the terms of the contract should be put in the public domain. That was part of what I insisted on.

The Senator asked about the top 100 people. We sent a list earlier today to the committee that was sent a few months ago. I felt it was fuller than the response we gave.

I did not remember which committee that had been sent to before my time but I knew there was a fuller response which probably is as much as we are able to give. The committee will be aware I always want to give as much information as we can.

The answer is "Yes". We asked a number of those people in the top 100 if they objected. A number of them did object to it, and then we took advice on GDPR, which Ms Mullooly may want to talk about.
