Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

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

Mr. David Harvey:

No. There is very little an ordinary board member can do when normal approval procedures are circumvented, and that is exactly what happened. It is a fact and that was endemic in the organisation. I can say as well that the jaw-dropping moment of Breda O'Keeffe and the next jaw-dropping moment today I find incredible. It is an extraordinarily depressing experience when you volunteer to try to do some good and you have looked for this appointment and to be frustrated at every turn. It is very depressing. However, I can say with a great degree of confidence that the huge amount of work that has been done in the last nine months is turning the organisation around.
