An unnamed RTÉ staff member had the loan of a car for five years.

He said the car was returned on Tuesday.

Mr Lynch said he could not name the staff member for data protection reasons, and would not say what role or rank they have as “it’ll be too specific and lead to speculation”.

“I’m sure it’ll come out anyway,” he said.

Current and former members of the RTÉ Board and Executive are currently appearing before the committee to answer questions about the RTÉ pay scandal.
