Ms Si?n N? Raghallaigh:

I am trying to explain. When the first Grant Thornton report came out, we had to validate that there were no other issues with regard to understatement or otherwise of published information regarding the top ten earners. In that process, we looked at the period in question, which was 2020 to 2022, and it was verified that there was nothing other than the anomaly with the two €75,000 payments. The board then requested that we look at the previous set of published numbers as well as a precaution. It was in that process, which was after the first Grant Thornton report and in the validations internally by RTÉ when it requested the numbers from the board, that we discovered there was an understatement of €120,000 in the period from 2017 to 2019.
