RTÉ representatives addressed the Oireachtas Media Committee regarding a failed IT system that led to a €3.6 million write-down. Additionally, a channel management system (CMS) overspent by €900,000. RTÉ’s CFO revealed that an impairment of €390,000 was recorded in 2019 due to unresolved issues during testing, prompting a contract termination with the first vendor. The project was subsequently awarded to a second vendor, who completed it after a competitive procurement process. RTÉ confirmed the CMS is currently operational.
"During the testing stages of the project in 2019, a number of issues came to light that could not be resolved by the appointed vendor."
"If you compare its spend, relative to its initial budget, it overran by €900,000."
