The are looking for more witnesses and documents.
The Pubic Accounts Committee is seeking further witnesses and outstanding documents from RTE.
Chairman and Laois Offaly Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley, says they want to hear from former Director General Dee Forbes, former Chief Financial Officer Breda O'Keeffe amongst others.
They're looking for a copy of the side letter between Noel Kelly and Dee Forbes from a 'Teams' call on the 7th of May 2020, that allegedly agreed and underwrote the tripartite agreement.
The committee also wants a full audit over the past five years of appearances by the top 20 stars in RTÉ on shows that they were not involved in.
Deputy Stanley says they're eager to see the Grant Thornton report into the payments to Ryan Tubridy between 2017 and 2019:
Deputy Stanley also commented:
"As Chair of the PAC, there are a number of witnesses that I want to see before the committee when they are available.
These are former Director General Dee Forbes, former Chief Financial Officer Breda O’Keefe, former Commercial Director Geraldine O’Leary and former Director of Content Jim Jennings. Three of those individuals have not been before the PAC yet and I believe each of them have invaluable information to provide to the committee. The committee is eager to see the Grant Thornton report into the 2017-2019 payments to Ryan Tubridy. We have yet to hear any credible answers from RTÉ representatives regarding these payments and when we see that report we may well need to speak again to other witnesses. It is my view that, once we have received these documents and the Grant Thornton report, we will need to have a further hearing with RTÉ representatives.”
