Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Noel Kelly:
I suppose it is obvious now, but at the time we were just acting under instruction. We had been working with RTÉ for 23 years. I never saw any reason RTÉ would do anything deceptive. Why would I? It is the national broadcaster. I listen and watch and pay my licence fee like everybody else. Honestly, why would I have doubted it?
