Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

The Deputy made a very valid point. There are two things here for me. There is a legal agreement and RTÉ has a liability, as Mr. Lynch just explained, but there is then a moral question about what is the right thing to do. When we come to have any discussions with Mr. Tubridy going forward, and I welcomed his offer the other day, we will wait to see what he does about it.
