Imelda Munster: -----that Mr. Collins has been consistent in one thing. He has been consistent in failing to do his job as chief financial officer. I know time is of the essence. I want to come back to the slush fund. Ms O'Leary called out a few examples. There was a U2 concert in Croke Park on 14 May 2019. Will she look up and tell us how much that cost? Was it Ms O'Leary who organised that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)

Imelda Munster: Ms O'Leary thinks she attended with her husband. A coach was hired to take her from the Twenty2 restaurant in Drumcondra, which has now closed, to Croke Park.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)
Imelda Munster: That is fairly flippant with taxpayers' money.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)
Imelda Munster: Hold on. What galls the public is that RTÉ cried poverty constantly and here was Ms O'Leary, as commercial director, with a redundant chief financial officer who was not aware of anything, flashing taxpayers' money by hiring a coach to take her from Drumcondra to Croke Park. She brought the hubby along. There was another gig at the K Club.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)
Imelda Munster: I will finish on this point. I want a figure for the cost of that Croke Park gig and while Ms O'Leary is here, a figure for attendance at the K Club on 27 May 2019. There were about five or six months between those two big hooleys.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)
Imelda Munster: How much was the cost for those? Did Ms O'Leary also organise the K Club event?

Imelda Munster: Did she attend the event?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)
Imelda Munster: I thank the representatives for attending. We all agree, and the public are of the opinion, that there has been a complete breakdown in corporate governance within RTÉ. Public confidence in how things are dealt with has gone down the chute and credibility has gone by the wayside. The public are of the opinion that it is all down to a select few of the top brass at RTÉ. We are...
