Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ

9:30 am

Mr. Declan McBennett:

With regard to the register of interest, as a manager within RTÉ, I cannot tell the Deputy how much that would be welcomed by the managers within RTÉ in terms of levelling the playing field across the staff. You do not want staff at different levels, and you certainly not do not want staff who are looking across the fence at somebody who is getting something, or who may be getting something, or there is an innuendo or a sense, so the register of interest will be welcomed broadly across RTÉ.
