Marc Ó Cathasaigh: On the invoicing, I noticed in the accounts that were returned at the end of the year that in respect of money transferred to Tuttle Productions, it can essentially be seen in the normal run of a year that the amount derived from NK Management is quite small and that in the years in question, it was large. The €75,000 can be seen. Mr. Kelly has four companies that are registered out...

- 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)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: With this direction from RTÉ, we have all received emails saying, "All you have to do is invoice a certain company in wherever and all of this money will be yours." It concerns an invoice for €75,000 to a company Mr. Kelly says he does not know and has never come across. He has no reason to suspect RTÉ is hiding payments but it asked him to invoice this company to receive a...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I met recently with an ecologist I know who works very closely with developers as part of her role. She gave me a very simple message, and I think it is one the Minister of State will appreciate. We are just gone three years in government. We spend a lot of time up against the coalface and sometimes we do not get to see the road we have travelled. The ecologist gave me a very simple...
