Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Apr 2022)

Imelda Munster: I will not go through it all again. I propose that the committee write to both RTÉ and the Department of Social Protection to ask has RTÉ appealed every case that went against it or is it only a handful of cases where there are technical issues or whatever.
