- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: On the invoicing, I noticed in the accounts that were returned at the end of the year that in respect of money transferred to Tuttle Productions, it can essentially be seen in the normal run of a year that the amount derived from NK Management is quite small and that in the years in question, it was large.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the witnesses. I want to make a general point first. In terms of the opening statements we received, Mr. Bakhurst's was relatively straightforward and Ms Ní Raghallaigh's was similarly so.
