No, not necessarily. It was the failure of the board itself in giving the information, bearing in mind that RTÉ is constantly looking for extra funding and saying it is in a dire financial state. The board did not even mention the fact, for example, that the former director general went from €306,000 to €316,000. She was hardly waiting on the extra €10,000 but she got it nonetheless, while a worker in administration or clerical on €24,000 got just 3% in January. Can Mr. Bakhurst understand how sickened the public are with that?
