Ms Eimear Cusack:

We started this process in 2018. I joined RTÉ in 2017 and was told there was an issue with contractors. We began the process known as the Eversheds process in 2018, whereby we addressed a number of people and they were offered contracts of employment - 81 people, of whom 79 accepted. We subsequently went into a facilitated process with the trade union group and agreed payment to those people. That became a collective agreement. The majority of people accepted that.
