Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

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

Mr. Conor Murphy:

Yes. I would echo that. The day before we had a board update as well. We had discussed how this was on the agenda for the remuneration committee. A few other board members had indicated that they would like to give input on that and hear more of the details.

Once we had the discussion at the remuneration committee, which was excellently prepared by Mr. Bakhurst and at which we went through a lot of questions and detail, I then proposed that we bring it to the rest of the board for an update. We were having a call the next day with the board anyway. I felt, based on the requests of other people on the board and because of the nature of the decisions in terms of the focus across all the news cycles, that involving the full board would have been a prudent move.
