Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Mr. Ian Kehoe:
There was. Shane Naughton was the former chief financial officer of the Economist Group when he left the board in early 2020. He was a qualified accountant and he sat on the audit and risk committee up until that point. It is worth noting that when we have appeared before this committee, which appoints a significant number of members to the board, we have asked specifically for accounting qualifications. Up until Ms Ní Raghallaigh's appointment, however, there was not an accountant.
