Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Ms Si?n N? Raghallaigh:
I know but I cannot force people to the table. I want the answer too. I want to know what happened. What we do know is that the publishing of the information was the correct thing to do in the board's opinion. If the board had not published the 2017 to 2019 correction, there would have been different types of questions asked, and we would have been accused of withholding information and not correcting the public record. We knew for sure that the public record was incorrect, and that was the important thing to correct. We did not know why, which is why the factual report was commissioned. As I said, it is an independent report. We rely on that for the findings we have gotten from that.
