John Brady: -----I want to go to the tripartite agreement which certainly is a foundation document. It states on the back page that once signed by all parties, this agreement will constitute a legally binding document and it is acknowledged that there is a valid consideration for the agreement. When I first read it, I saw an agent had signed it on behalf of Mr. Ryan Tubridy. At first, I thought the...

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)
John Brady: It is just to get clarity about the contract, that is, the tripartite agreement. It was only a month and a half after Deloitte raised concerns about the consultancy fee invoices that this contract was signed by an agent representing Ryan Tubridy. No one has signed it on behalf of RTÉ. The second last paragraph in the contract reads that, once signed by all parties, the agreement would...

John Brady: Or anyone who can provide an answer.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)
John Brady: Then why would the agent feel the need on 21 April 2023 to sign this agreement, given those discussions and everything else we know about what has happened and what has hit the fan? Only a month and a half beforehand, the agent was solely focused on trying to get its legal house in order. Has RTÉ checked out the legality of this contract?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: I welcome our witnesses. Hopefully, this meeting will go some way towards getting transparency, which has been missing until this point. I want to establish a clear timeline as to who knew what and when. We know that on 3 March, Mr. Tubridy had stated, when questioned about his ongoing position with “The Late Late Show” and whether he would continue or not: I don’t...
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: There is no need to. That is accurate for 3 March. On 7 March, we know from questioning that Deloitte first contacted Richard Collins, the chief financial officer. That has been established and it is not disputed. We know Mr. Collins on 8 March contacted Dee Forbes to get to the bottom of the nature of those two invoices that we know had been issued, and that is not up for dispute. It...
