New “exit fees” and “performance fees” identified in RTÉ’s accounts are now under investigation by auditors, a review into the broadcasters’ top 10 earners has stated.
New Director General Kevin Bakhurst will tell TDs at the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Thursday morning that the last number of weeks have “created one of the most shameful and damaging episodes” in RTÉ’s history and that the public and politicians have been “misled”.
It is the first time Mr Bakhurst will address the Oireachtas since taking over the reins at the embattled broadcaster on Monday.
