Minister for Media Catherine Martin also says number not paying TV licence fee is falling
Ms Martin said the full extend of the deficit at RTÉ in the wake of the crisis, and the likely cost to the Government of interim funding would be made known to her in a report from State’s New Economy and Recovery Authority which provides financial and commercial advice to Government ministers and departments in relation to State companies.She said there were questions about whether the NewERA report could be published.
Ms Martin acknowledged there was a further, RTÉ-commissioned report on two voluntary exit schemes offered to certain staff by the station in recent years. This report from legal firm McCann FitzGerald was expected to be delivered in September. The exit schemes became the focus of public attention during Oireachtas committee hearings when it emerged the former chief financial officer of RTÉ had availed of a scheme in 2020.Controversy surrounding payments made by RTÉ began on June 22nd when the broadcaster announced it had incorrectly declared the earnings of its star presenter Ryan Tubridy by €345,000 over the period 2017 to 2022.
This led to intense scrutiny of Ireland’s public service broadcaster, including its governance and accounting practices and hospitality given to RTÉ's advertising clients.
