There have been a slate of revelations in regards to RTÉ's spending habits, with three barter accounts used rather than the supposed one.

A detailed report of RTÉ’s barter account has been sent to the Oireachtas Media Committee amid the ongoing payments scandal.

Numbers today from the committee hearings now show that the state broadcaster spent roughly €9,000 on hospitality and tickets to see Harry Styles, Westlife and The Eagles at the Aviva Stadium, and a further €4,000 on tickets and hospitality for Garth Brooks' Croke Park shows.

Meanwhile, €13,000 for Bruce Springsteen tickets for an agency event in Dublin was also spent.

About €9,000 was spent from it on hospitality at the Aviva stadium for tickets to see Harry Styles, Westlife and the Eagles - and another €4,000 on tickets and hospitality for the Garth Brooks concerts in Croke Park.

€1.6 million was reportedly spent on client entertainment and corporate hospitality in the past decade.

Elsewhere, RTÉ spent nearly €5,000 on 200 flip flops. The station’s accounts reveal their controversial Astus barter account was used to spend €4,956.73 on 200 pairs of Havaianas for agencies and clients during a summer party in 2016.

Accounts also show more than €2,000 on balloons for the summer party, while ten-year IRFU tickets cost RTÉ €138,00. €769 was spent at the Other Voices festival for two senior members of an agency.

There’s a membership worth €2,306 for luxury members-only club Soho House in London, a dinner in Dublin restaurant Isabelle’s for €1,469, and a transaction for €2,481 for hospitality at a Garth Brooks concert. In 2021, there was a transaction for €599 for Dublin’s Dylan Hotel for a client.

Another transaction of €4,568 is simply listed as “alcohol” with no description, elsewhere there is a payment for €18,201 simply labelled “Fiat” for the group head of commercial.

The National Union of Journalists has responded to the Oireachtas Media Committee hearings, stating that "ordinary workers at RTÉ are extremely upset" at the news.

"The contract between the lavish spending we are hearing about and how ordinary staff were being treated during those years is staggering."
