RTÉ Tuesday statement sheds ‘some light’ on what transpired but many questions remain, says Varadkar
RTÉ payments controversy: Executives tell Oireachtas committee of ‘cultural issue’ and say it will publish Kielty deal if he agrees
Mr Varadkar said executives should explain at the committee hearings why it would take four weeks to put the information regarding 2017 to 2019 in the public domain. The Fine Gael leader said the revelations from RTÉ last week were “deeply unsettling” and have “shaken public trust in what is an important institution. We want to see trust restored quickly because we need to have a strong and effective public service broadcaster for our State.
The Donegal TD added that “we have got to get to the bottom of this quickly” and the State had “absolutely no idea whatsoever” from RTÉ's latest statement about what happened in 2017, 2018 and 2019 regarding payments to Tubridy.
