James Geoghegan: I do not want to get into it but, to put it mildly, the CEO took great umbrage at the comments the Cathaoirleach made. He has given the context.

Before positive assertions are made like...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2025)

James Geoghegan: I echo what Deputy Kenny said. What the “RTÉ Investigates" programme identified was traumatising. That is the only way to describe it.
