- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: The tripartite agreement was not signed until 21 April 2023, a month and a half after the issue was first identified by Deloitte. Why was that only signed at that stage?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: We are expected to believe it is purely coincidental that a month and a half after Deloitte identified these questionable invoices that this was taken down off the shelf when everything had hit the fan and retrospectively signed a couple of years after the contract took place?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: I want to ask about this tripartite agreement. Is it purely coincidental that was taken down off the shelf and signed in April, a month and a half after Deloitte raised these concerns?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: So it was a coincidence?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: I am not getting a clear answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: Okay, for the people Mr. Kelly represents, would it be normal that RTÉ would put forward proposals for a commercial element to be part of the contract? Would that be normal, or an exception?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: It is an exception. Are there no other cases involving any other people?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: There are no other cases. In regard to the invoicing, we know there was an attempt, and a trail is there, that no names were to appear on the invoices. Whose suggestion was it to label them as consultancy fees?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: Who in RTÉ informed Mr. Kelly to put it down as consultancy fees?
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
John Brady: Okay, in the Grant Thornton review it states very clearly that no consultancy fees were provided either by the talent or the talent's agents and it did not reflect the substance of the transactions. The then chief financial officer, under questioning last week in regard to the legality of these invoices, stated it was his view that the public had been defrauded because of the labelling of...
- Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)
