THE OIREACTHAS MEDIA committee has heard that a staff member in RTÉ yesterday returned a car which had been “loaned” to them by the company for the past five years.
“I’m aware of one instance, where somebody had a loan of a car, my understanding is that car has been returned and that individual is a staff member of RTÉ,” he told Fianna Fáil’s Timmy Dooley. When asked by Fine Gael Senator Micheál Carrigy what role the person who had the car holds within RTÉ, and whether they work as part of the executive, the board, the ‘talent’ or among the wider staff, Lynch said he could not specify as it could identify the person.
However, the interim deputy director general did to Dooley that he would seek clarification on whether “someone at RTÉ could be in receipt of a car allowance without even holding a driver’s licence”.
