Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

Yes, it is. The reality is that, particularly on services like 2FM, we recruit people because they have a profile on, say, social media to bring in that audience. We need to be clear and transparent about what they are allowed or not allowed to do, and we will publish what they do. However, we need to be realistic that we bring them in because they bring a following from social media in some cases.
