The ownership of €60,000 painting that has been sitting in an office in RTÉ for four decades is currently in dispute, director general Kevin Bakhurst has confirmed.

As he dismissed suggestions that the painting was valued at €100,000, he said it would be handed back if there was proof it was loaned to the national broadcaster from an art gallery.
