Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) John Brady: Good afternoon to our guests. I will continue on the issue of RTÉ but with a focus on the bogus self-employment that was not only rife in RTÉ but, unfortunately, in many other areas across the State. We know that in 2018, RTÉ commissioned an independent review of the employment status of 433 contractors at the station to determine whether they had been misclassified as...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) John Brady: On the bill that has been paid, as we already know, a tax settlement of €1.2 million has been made with Revenue. I imagine that there may well be a substantial bill for the Department of Social Protection arising from this. Who is ultimately going to foot that bill? Is it RTÉ or has the Department been asked to foot it?

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) John Brady: My colleague, Deputy Imelda Munster, at a previous hearing of this committee described RTÉ's behaviour as that of a rogue employer, given what was endemic within the organisation in terms of the classification of workers and the impact of bogus self-employment on workers' rights and entitlements. Will any individual be held responsible for that? Is there not an onus on the Department...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) John Brady: I have already referenced a letter from some of those workers to the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, outlining their concerns about the pressure they felt they were under to accept the financial compensation deal that was put to them. Payments were offered in the range of €5,000 to €17,500, depending on the length of service. Workers felt that they were under pressure to...
