One of RTE’s staff stars had a ‘loan’ of a free car for five years that he gave back on Tuesday.
And the acting editor in chief told the Oireachtas media committee that there may be more. Adrian Lynch confirmed that a trawl has so far uncovered one car that was an unauthorised perk and that the full probe into benefits in kind is not complete.
He was asked by Senator Eugene Murphy if this meant there may be more “secret cars.” Mr Lynch replied, “possibly” and pointed to the fact that there are over 1,800 staff in RTE.
