Link to this: Individually | In context
There are staff members present here today who were in senior roles in RTÉ during that time, such as the acting DG - the previous DG is not here - and the head of HR. Did they know about this while they were attending meetings of this committee and speaking to Members of the Oireachtas who asked questions of them? Two staff members are present. I will ask Mr. Lynch and Ms Cusack straight out: were they aware of this? If they were, why did they not inform the members of this committee at that time? I would like a straight yes-no answer. Were they aware of it? My time is limited. Was Mr. Lynch aware, as acting DG?
