Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)

Absolutely, but at the time Mr. Tubridy said in this particular committee room that he would repay the money if he did not attend the events for RTÉ, he did not know whether he would have a job. He said he did not know whether he would have a job come the following Friday. It turns out he did not have a job. It turns out that he did say, prior to knowing whether he would have a job and to having the contract negotiations with Mr. Bakhurst, that the €150,000 would be written off over two years, that he was going to return the money. Is there not a moral duty on RTÉ to pursue Mr. Tubridy for the money?
