Over a 10-year period the state broadcaster, currently gripped in a secret payments scandal, spent a whopping €150,000 each year on client entertainment and hospitality via barter accounts
A review of the finances at RTÉ amid the ongoing pay scandal has revealed three barter accounts which were used to spend €1.6 million wining and dining clients over a period of 10 years.
According to a spokesperson for RTÉ, traditional advertising campaigns are billed and paid for in full in cash, however, barter campaigns instead are billed at 50 per cent in cash and 50 per cent in credit, the credit being accumulated over time. On Wednesday morning, more bombshell details regarding the spending emerged, with revelations that, in total, millions had been spent to wine and dine clients via these barter accounts, named Astus, Active and Miroma.
