- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Mr. Bakhurst cannot have it both ways. This needs to be clarified. He is stating clearly that Noel Kelly knew of the scheme to deceive in its entirety.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: There are three parties. Let me tell Mr. Bakhurst why his side does not appear to be credible. We have documentary evidence in a 40-page document that gives credibility to Noel Kelly's and Ryan Tubridy's version. I am afraid I have not seen, nor has anyone in this committee seen, any documentary evidence to support Mr. Bakhurst's claim. How does he stand over comments that Noel Kelly was...

Verona Murphy: This morning, Mr. Lynch said that Mr. Kelly was aware that Renault - I will come to Mr. Lynch - was no longer sponsoring this deal. Is Renault the current sponsor of RTÉ's "The Late Late Show"? I would have thought that is a very simple "Yes" or "No".

Verona Murphy: No, I am afraid I do not want to run down the clock. I am simply asking, to be fair-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I am being fair because we are hearing oral evidence. We have 40 pages of documented evidence that supports witnesses who appeared here. I am asking a very simple question. Is Renault currently or has it in the past been the sponsor of RTÉ's "The Late Late Show"?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: That is a "Yes" or "No" answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: That is fine. At no stage did its contract as sponsor of "The Late Late Show" lapse.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: It is up for renewal.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: That is fine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: That is all I need to know. I have to go back on the basis that there is no documentary evidence to support what has been put forward by RTÉ. Can Mr. Bakhurst tell me where the evidence is that documented, as he said, that Noel Kelly knew of how this scheme operated?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Why were they not provided to the committee? Why could Mr. Bakhurst not support the committee in understanding what his claim was?

Verona Murphy: Actually-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I will just quote this for Mr. Bakhurst again. "Whether RTÉ is fully to blame, I am not sure I ... accept that." He said there was more than one party. Therefore, he is blaming Mr. Kelly.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I will put it this way. There were certainly a number of parties. We have only supporting documents that support in evidence what witnesses have said here.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: No, I am sorry. We have not seen the email that Mr. Lynch disgracefully read into the record that we are-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Sorry, Chair. I do not need to hear this. I just asked one question. If Mr. Lynch wants to answer a question, here is one. Where has he documented an email where Noel Kelly was told that Renault is no longer paying this €75,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Hold on. The Grant Thornton report was only done, whereas Mr. Lynch, at the last meeting, said that Noel Kelly was fully aware that Renault was no longer paying. He mentioned an email. Where have we seen an email to Noel Kelly that states that RTÉ made him aware?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: To the left.
