Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Richard Collins:

Sure. On 7 March Deloitte approached me, which would be normal. I would not be involved in the detail of the audit, but at the end of the audit if there were issues outstanding, they would approach me. They raised the issue of these invoices there and they asked me what they were for. I undertook then to speak to the director general about them. I asked the director general what they were for. She told me they were consultancy invoices relating to Noel Kelly Management and I relayed that back to Deloitte.
