The Revenue Commissioners has said there is no reason why RTÉ cannot reveal the nature of a reparation payment the broadcaster made over its use of bogus self-employed staff.

RTÉ recently admitted to the Public Accounts Committee that it had made such a payment after an independent review of its contract staff found 82 of them should have been offered full-time contracts due to the nature of the work they were performing.
