Verona Murphy: Sorry, Mr. Bakhurst. The voluntary exit package information is required. I understand there is an investigation ongoing, but that information should be before this committee. It is public moneys, no matter how you wish to see it.

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion (12 Oct 2023)

Verona Murphy: So, she is registered as a legal practice with the Law Society. Does Ms Mullooly have a professional indemnity?
