The row over pay for ex-Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy continues
Mr Lynch replied: "I asked each of the senior executives did they know that this deal was underwritten by a verbal agreement between Noel Kelly and Dee Forbes.""I did not mislead this committee, I did not mislead this committee," Mr Lynch said.
However other politicians were also sceptical that Ms Forbes alone had agreed the arrangement for the payments to Mr Tubridy with his agent. Fianna Fáil's Cormac Devlin said: "There's was an impression clearly given that almost it was all Dee Forbes.Independent politician Verona Murphy said: "I think it should be on the record that there isn't an ounce of credibility to back up what either of these witnesses are saying."Mr Bakhurst said it would be "helpful" if Ms Forbes agreed to appear before the committee.
"It clearly would be very useful if the former director general, when she's well enough, can come and give evidence to shed some light on particularly some of the verbal conversations we have no records of," he said.Mr Tubridy has been off air for several weeks and is not presenting his show on RTÉ Radio One.
Asked if any salary was being paid to Mr Tubridy, Mr Bakhurst said: "As of this week, no because we need to agree what the level of that is.""I feel like with these committee members we're nearly living together we've been at this for so long and it's actually now more confusing than it ever was," he said."I can't see how some of the people who've been appearing at the two committees can work together again.
