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?

Catherine Murphy: I want to go back to the legal document over which the witnesses are claiming privilege. The person was not being advised on rights or entitlements. Was it not the case this was around the consideration of a contract? Would that not be legal assistance rather than anything else?

- 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. We were told Breda O'Keeffe was party to the 2017 redundancy package. Is that right?

Catherine Murphy: Was she the most senior person who exited, as Mr. Lynch recalls? He would have been involved or would have had a responsibility, as would the director general and the HR person, to sign off on this. Is it right to say he would have considered this?

Catherine Murphy: Several people have made a point about the seventh untruth. Ryan Tubridy said in his statement: [B]ecause of how RTÉ reported that decision in its accounts, the narrative of the last three weeks has been that not only did I take this payment but that I somehow contrived to hide it. Let me reiterate: I actually waived my entitlement to this payment... We have heard from Ms Ní...

Catherine Murphy: It is accepted that the sum was not paid. Grant Thornton is chasing after an amount that was not paid. Am I right on that?

Catherine Murphy: I will finish off the point with regard to the redundancy. Mr. Lynch was on that executive board - he told us that - yet he told us that the first time he heard about this exit package was two weeks ago. How could that be? If he was on that board, how would he not know?
