Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source
Thanks for that but, as I said, RTÉ appointed Deloitte, which gave a clean bill of health, despite the fact that the station was facing ruin. It was out of money and depending on a cash injection from the Government. I accept that the board are temporary appointments and I have sat on many voluntary boards, as I am sure many of my colleagues have. We spent two hours one night at a meeting trying to explain an underspend of €20. That is what the public expect. It is a runaway train out in RTÉ.
