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

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

I will be as brief as possible. On the €150,000 from Ryan, it has not been paid back. Yes, clearly if we have any contact, we ask if he is going to do it but there has been no progress on that. As you know, we have no legal basis, unfortunately.

On the presenter salary cap, the answer is that every single presenter we have negotiated with since I announced that has come in at a level below that. As I said, when other presenters' contracts come up, they will also come in at that level or below it.
