Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
All I can say is this project was run out of the offices of the two previous CFOs. Obviously, Breda O'Keeffe left some time ago, which was well-publicised. The previous CFO subsequently left RTÉ. It was run out of their offices. To be fair to Richard Collins, the most recent CFO before Ms Hurley, he did an awful lot to try to salvage this project. In fact, he did in the end. He brought in new consultants, as part of the impairments, and he salvaged the finance part of the project. The people who were running the project have left the organisation.
