Evidence given at Public Accounts Committee over use of €275,000 from ‘slush fund’ for sports junkets
The Oireachtas media committee is this morning set to sign off on plans to bring Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly before it as the crisis over secret payments to the broadcaster continues.
More revelations about employee contracts and the future of the RTÉ board were revealed in the Public Accounts Committee. Speaking on Friday morning, Fianna Fáil TD Ms Smyth said that “after considerable debate over two commitees it is now incumbent on the voices outside the room to come in and share their side of the series of events which led to secret payments to Ryan Tubridy.”Sinn Féin TD Imelda Munster has said that yesterday’s PAC meeting revealed individuals at the top in RTÉ acted as they saw fit in a culture that was “completely devoid of any oversight or governance.
“It just appears that there’s plenty of perks and top ups for some at the very top and then cuts for everybody else within the organisation.”
