PAC rejects RTÉ's conditional offer of a summary of memo on Ryan Tubridy payments

RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst had written on Wednesday to the committee concerning an RTÉ solicitor’s memo

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has rejected RTÉ’s offer of a compromise regarding an infamous memo relating to the Ryan Tubridy payments scandal, saying that the suggestion “came in far too late”.

The broadcaster’s director general Kevin Bakhurst had written on Wednesday to the committee concerning an RTÉ solicitor’s memo drafted regarding a Teams meeting between former director general Dee Forbes and agent Noel Kelly dating from May 7, 2020—a meeting which saw a deal rubberstamped which resulted in Mr Tubridy being paid €225,000 via hidden cash transfers.
