Quick Glance: RTÉ Finance Review Uncovers Additional Barter Accounts
  • RTÉ will provide comments and context on these barter accounts during tomorrow's Joint Oireachtas Committee meeting.

  • The board was informed that the total amount spent through these accounts over a 10-year period was €1.25m - the same amount disclosed to the Dáil's Public Accounts Committee last week - although it has not been confirmed if this is entirely accurate.

  • Former chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness, called for compellability and questioned why the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) had not been tasked with auditing the funds that went into RTÉ.

  • Meanwhile, Sinn Féin TD Imelda Munster stated that Ryan Tubridy, his agent Noel Kelly, and former RTÉ director general Dee Forbes must 'do the decent thing' and appear before the Dáil's Media Committee this week.
