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

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

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

No. I was not under pressure. I asked for views internally, from the board, from Radio 1 and his colleagues on his programme team and others on the leadership team. It was carefully considered and there was a proper and robust discussion about it within the organisation. I explained to Mr. Tubridy at the time that there were divided views about it in every area, including the significant amount of correspondence I got directly from the audience.
