Letters to the Editor: Now turn the spotlight on politicians’ oversight of spending

Readers respond to the RTÉ saga, a number of them contrasting it with other governance issues including the project to develop the national children's hospital

I would like to offer some personal views/comments/opinions on the ongoing RTÉ saga.

First of all let me state while working with an international organisation I served as contracts officer for eight years. Later, I served as chief of purchasing, and later still as head of civilian administration. I have served as secretary and later chairperson of finance committees which reviewed expenditures of over $5,000 (€4,500) at that time.
