Public Accounts Committee
Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ
9:30 am
Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
I am afraid it will be broadly. I asked Richard Dowling, the head of our transparency and freedom of information unit, to do the work and lead on this. I want it to be as widely encompassing as possible but, of course, I have committed to the unions that we will have discussions with them about what is appropriate and fair. We also want to look at what is best practice in some of the organisations that already do this. That work started last week. I said to Mr. Dowling to progress it as a matter of urgency. We will be very happy to come back to the committee and give details as we go along, if that would be useful, as to the decisions we have taken and why we have taken them.
