Terry Prone: RTÉ's statement fails to nail down who came up with the method of deception

Payments arrangement, from RTÉ’s point of view, was a costly dud, writes Terry Prone 

Dee Forbes, former director general, RTÉ, signed off on the payments to Ryan Tubridy.

Outside RTÉ were some of the best-known faces from our TV screens — the ones we’re used to telling us what’s what, and asking severe questions of politicians, public servants, and business people. 

Yesterday afternoon, under a threatening sky, those household names and faces were answering, rather than asking, questions.
