Marie Sherlock: We have no paperwork for the services. I need to move on. I have three questions I need to ask Mr. Tubridy. He had a phrase in the middle of pandemic which was, if I am quoting correctly, "Mind yourself, mind each other". Approximately seven months after the conclusion of this package for him in 2020, pay cuts for RTÉ staff were back on the table. Mr. Tubridy is one person and...

Marie Sherlock: On one side we have a guarantee of no pay cut and yet people earning that little money, which is a modest income, were going through pay cuts. How did Mr. Tubridy feel about those pay cuts?

Marie Sherlock: I have two final questions, which are important. Mr. Tubridy said a few times today that his job is in front of the microphone, with words and not with the accounts and that he leaves the process to others. As a contractor, Mr. Tubridy is a company director. Every year, he and another director have to sign a legal document as company directors. Mr. Tubridy has to verify and sign off...

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: Lots of people want to see him back on air. Does he think that his integrity is damaged, given that he admitted earlier that he should have put up his hand? He received payments that none of us are happy with as regards them being ultimately for Mr. Tubridy's benefit, but were anonymised. Does he think his integrity is damaged?
