Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

As Deputy Munster knows, there was a process with Eversheds which addressed approximately 80 of these cases. It was an agreed process with the unions. The vast majority of people signed up to it and have received some compensation. What I said at the staff meeting yesterday when I was asked about it was about a number of individuals who have not agreed to the outcome of the process. It is a small number of fewer than ten people. I have met several of them individually or in a small group on whether we can reopen their cases after the Eversheds process.
