I read that report, and I think it was said that they were explicitly told. My reading of what transpired at that meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts was that Ms Mullooly had outlined the changes that would apply in the future. The language she used was it "will now present a report" and that it "will now" report to the board. At this point, we were aware that Mr. Collins had left RTÉ, and there was no reason to believe anything other than that the DG had made that decision without board approval.
