Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Engagement with Chairperson to the Board of RTÉ
Mr. Terence O'Rourke:
They are very modest, to be honest. I am talking about minor things, to be honest. There was no substantial issue. As set out in the New Direction document the director general issued last year, there was a very conscious emphasis on reducing pay across the organisation for the top earners. In addition, the recommendations of the review group talk about pay bands, so that is going on. Rather than saying that the management has done anything wrong, I am mainly pointing out that the proposals got challenged by the board of directors. They asked questions and for clarification on things. It was not that we refused things or that management had done anything wrong but we wanted more detail, challenged and got more answers in the end.
