On the IT scandal, has RTÉ done any scoping to see if there are any other IT projects in recent years that have run into similar difficulties regarding systems that were not fit for purpose or resulted in large cost overruns?

I asked how much money RTÉ had spent defending bogus self-employment claims and I await the specific figure on that. Meanwhile, does RTÉ have a litigation policy around how it approaches these cases?

RTÉ's statement indicated that a chief risk and compliance officer would join the team later this summer. Who among this leadership team currently has oversight of the work that will ultimately be within that officer's remit?
