Architect Dermot Bannon denies receiving payment for featuring gov't grants on RTÉ's "Room to Improve."

Architect Dermot Bannon has denied receiving payment for featuring government grants on his RTÉ show, "Room to Improve." Bannon stated that neither he nor his company received a subvention for featuring the grants in the program, despite a report suggesting otherwise. The show highlighted vacant property refurbishment grants, and Bannon attended the launch of a property development with Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien, who also expressed no concerns about the show featuring the grants.
