Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Mr. David Harvey:
I do, 100%. If it does not get that information, it goes looking for it. We simply cannot allow that to be left to chance. It was left to chance before. In a big organisation with a financial controller in every division and group financial controller, surely the thing was being run properly. We can clearly see that in certain places there were massive inadequacies. In a company that cannot be turned around and change quickly, when things all go wrong they go horribly wrong. That is really what has happened. RTÉ has a great chance. It is a great organisation. It has a great product. There are great people working there. Once it knows what it is going forward, under proper leadership I believe the company will do very well.
