It has emerged that requests for records connected to INM's exploration of the possibility of tabling a bid to acquire Newstalk to be handed over to the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) came after the media group's chief executive Robert Pitt contacted the office to make a complaint under new whistleblowing legislation.
The Irish Independent reports that this happened late last year and close to the date when INM released a statement to the stock exchange confirming that a bid had been considered. It was abandoned at a preliminary stage.
INM said yesterday that the handing over of documents was, "a procedural matter that does not involve any conclusion that there has been a breach of law by the company or its officers."
A difference of opinion arose between INM Chief Executive Robert Pitt and Chairman Leslie Buckley in relation to the terms of that possible acquisition last year – it is understood to have been related to the question of Newstalk’s valuation.
