Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

I am not able to give the details on individuals. Because I want to be able to give maximum transparency, committee members will be aware that we asked for independent external legal advice from Arthur Cox about what we could and could not say about individuals. Committee members will have seen the letter and the comprehensive advice to us about what we can say about individuals. Hopefully, that letter is in the public domain so that others can see it as well. I think that answers the point. It would be remiss of me to go against very clear legal advice.
