Politicians in Leinster House are speculating wildly about other RTE stable stars who may be enjoying the perk of an unsanctioned car
Leinster House was awash with rumours last night that there may be more RTE staff with free cars after sports presenting star Marty Morrissey admitted he had a ‘loaned’ car for five years.
It emerged at the Media Committee on Thursday that at least one star at the station had the use of a car which was not authorised by management, which it should be under their rules.Mr Morrissey came out last night and put his hand up to say he had a free car from Renault on an ad hoc basis. Last night, Labour media spokeswoman, Marie Sherlock, said: “This evening we have a statement from Marty Morrisey that brings into question evidence provided by acting DG Adrian Lynch yesterday at the Oireachtas Media Committee.
“What is crucial here is that the drip feed of information and inconsistency of detail brings the RTÉ crisis into a new level of farce.
