They are Dr Abigail O’Brien PRHA, Andrew Folan RHA, Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh RHA and Rachel Joynt RHA respectively.
According to accounts, O’Brien self-funded travel for herself and her husband, as did Hu; Murphy travelled on RHA time and unclear funding — with O’Brien falsely claiming the trip was “private”.
The RHA Council later debated the possibility that O’Brien refund the buyer in full, though that has not yet happened.
They informed their legal team they had a mandate from the Council O’Brien and Hu were friends and had had a commercial relationship which suggested she too was not an ideal representative for the RHA.
Meanwhile what began as a devoted career in the arts has become, for Sandra Hu, a campaign to defend the integrity of an institution she once served.
