Public Accounts Committee
Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ
9:30 am
Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
Will we seek to recoup it? I think we have said that the payment is RTÉ's responsibility. We approved that payment, so there is a legal basis. Can we recoup it on a legal basis? I think the answer is probably "No". Should Mr. Tubridy and Mr. Kelly decide to pay it back because they think it is the right thing to do, we would welcome that.
