Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Adrian Lynch:

First, I was not aware of the cost-neutral element within this. Second, in terms of what Grant Thornton will tell us – there has been a lot of confusion about the €120,000 – is how it has actually been treated in the accounts. Was it used to reduce Ryan Tubridy's overall earnings in that period of time, as a kind of retrospective credit? Grant Thornton is investigating that.
