I identified the people where the buck stops. Secretaries General of Departments were made aware of this in 2019. It might have been a different at the time, but their role is to run the organisations that are under them. They come down on people and cut off their social welfare if they are defrauding, and rightly so. We all deal with cases every day of the week where there are social welfare overpayments. There are very rigours payment plans. Where is the payment plan RTÉ is entering into with the Department of Social Protection? Has there been any talk of a payment plan to repay all the money the taxpayers were robbed of?
