The two men will be asked whether Tubridy gave any instructions to Kelly, and if there were any further discussions in that regard before finalisation of the agreement. Another issue that will be investigated is "the raising of associated invoices and related payments, the details of the invoices, and who was aware of same".
The PAC Chair also specified Tubridy and Kelly will be questioned about "any matters arising from the material that will be provided to the committee in advance of the meeting, and that RTE are expected to provide to the committee by Monday, July 10".
