- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: Mr. Kelly is an agent for a small number of people. I refer to the Breda O'Keeffe statement last week. Ms O'Keeffe stated, "When I left in March 2020, an RTÉ guarantee on the proposed Renault agreement was not on offer, as far as I was aware." Ms O'Keeffe was linking in the Renault agreement with the salary. One can see why this keeps on coming back to the same thing. Mr. Kelly...
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: Given all Mr. Tubridy has listened to over the past few weeks, he says he wants to go back and work on the radio. Looking at it from his perspective, that appears to come across as strange given all the issues that he has documented in his booklet and the opening statement.

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: The witnesses are very welcome. I want to clarifying something again. Mr. Lynch said in his opening statement: “We believe that the substantive contract would not have been signed without the additional commercial agreement or the underwriting.” A sum of €75,000 of that was with Renault with convoluted methods and the other two were direct payments to RTÉ. Does...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: Okay. I just want to get that on the record. The second thing relates to Mr. Lynch. Regarding the rules for RTÉ’s scheme for redundancy etc., he would have been on the executive board. The executive board reviewed all of those-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)

We therefore know that the job was not made redundant. Was this an early retirement?

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: Right. Okay. I will stop Mr. Lynch there, because there are lots of things I want to ask about. Breda O’Keeffe sent in her apologies today. In her statement she said “I have nothing further to add to that statement with respect to the matters addressed therein”. That was her statement on 5 July. Since 5 July, Ryan Tubridy and Noel Kelly were before the committee....
