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

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

Commercial income is performing very well at the moment. You touched on the Olympic and the Paralympic Games. As I understand it, sponsorship is looking very good for those games, which is unusual. We have a new commercial director, Gavin Deans, who arrived last week. I am sure at some point he would welcome the chance to come here to talk about the commercial strategy. The commercial team has been doing a great job. Not just the team, but the commercial agencies that have supported us throughout this still recognise that we are producing quality content they want to be associated with. That is welcome. It could have posed a bigger problem for us if that had not happened.
