Brian Stanley: I want to ask Mr. Collins in regard to earnings and published earnings for the 2017 period. There are still questions around Mr. Tubridy's earnings for 2017. There is still a difference of €34,000 between his contract and his published earnings. Mr. Collins might help me with this. There has been a lot of talk about €120,000. Can we accept that his earnings in that period...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)
Brian Stanley: We look forward to seeing that. What was actually received was €120,000 more than what was originally published. That is what I want to clarify. The Comptroller and Auditor General has suggested an explanation. Mr. Collins can come back and definitively clarify this with regard to the €34,000 gap. I will move on to the classification of contractors. There was a...
