A staff member at RTE had a car loaned to them for five years without approval – and only returned it this week, a parliamentary committee has been told.
The revelation emerged when Fianna Fail senator Timmy Dooley questioned RTE’s interim deputy director-general Adrian Lynch on whether any employees at the broadcaster were in possession of a car as a result of being brand ambassadors for motoring companies while at the same time receiving a car allowance from RTE.
