Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

To be fair, a number of those people who were contractors were paid significantly more to be contractors. Some of them chose to be contractors at the time because they wanted to earn more and were outside the pay bands of RTÉ. There is a significant range of people in the cohorts we are talking about. When we go back a number of years, some of these people had other jobs outside RTÉ. They were working as sports contributors or analysts or whatever in their spare time but we have gone back and have had to characterise those as employment dates and paid the PRSI on them.
