Mr. Adrian Lynch:

I will clarify two points there. First, the RTÉ board is independent of the executive board. My job, as interim deputy director general, was to compile a statement of facts as I saw them. In terms of that and what we issued on 27 June, we were quite clear in our statement that the Grant Thornton review makes no finding of wrongdoing on the part of Ryan Tubridy in relation to any payments made by RTÉ and that Ryan Tubridy was not aware of the credit note provided by RTÉ to the commercial partner, nor, may I add, would Noel Kelly have been aware of the credit note. That was absolutely internal to RTÉ.

Second, just to clarify, the first time I became aware that Ms O'Keeffe had exited as part of a voluntary exit package, VEP, was when she made the statement last week.
