Mr. Terence O'Rourke:

In the ESB I have a long track record of successfully managing a very complex and large organisation. Financing of the ESB is considerable, much larger than RTÉ. There are very strong governance and board oversight processes. There is also a very strong system of financial controls. It is almost best in class of what I have seen in my career. The ESB does it as well as any organisation that I have seen in my career. I hope to bring some of those lessons to help RTÉ on its journey as well.
