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

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

It will be in the accounts when we publish them. I cannot give the figure now because it could be worked out through a process of elimination. There are very tricky legal constraints around some of the exits. I said this before, I think, in one of the committees. It is hard when you are exiting people at a senior level. When you come in like me and want to make changes to your leadership team and exit individuals for various reasons and you are given legal advice that you cannot necessarily fire individuals, I am afraid there is a price. However, I needed to refresh the leadership team, so it was a price I had to pay.
