RTE has said it is satisfied a former manager at the station never used money received by former Century Radio director Mr Oliver Barry for his personal use. After an internal investigation, RTE said it supported Mr Peter Branagan's explanation that the money was used for entertainment for staff who had worked with Century when it started up.
Mr Branagan admitted at the tribunal last November he received between £1,600 and £1,700 from Mr Barry.
Mr Barry told the tribunal last year he paid £5,000 on behalf of Century to Mr Branagan or another RTE executive, Mr John McGrath.
