Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
No, it was not. The line in that report was the final part of this. I do not want to be unfair on Mr. Tubridy, but there was an issue for me about accepting the facts as they were now outlined and whether the various payments of €75,000 had been part of his remuneration package. It had been established that it was. I felt that to move on, he had to accept the facts and also accept he had some role in it, although RTÉ was largely to blame. In my view, I am afraid that was not forthcoming. That was why we ended it.
