Catherine Murphy: We were told the other day that the €120,000 that is being investigated was not paid to Ryan Tubridy. RTÉ and Grant Thornton are looking for that €120,000 but there seems to have been some convoluted way of apportioning that. I do not know why it would be apportioned if it was not paid. Did Deloitte pick up anything on any of that?

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Catherine Murphy: It would have been helpful to have that matter resolved by now. Going back to the redundancy issue, we were told there were two sets of redundancies, which were in the public domain. There were the redundancies in 2017.
