There was the staffer with the unapproved loan of a car for five years; the €4,956 spent on flip-flops for the corporate summer party; and the €2.2m lost on 'Toy Show the Musical'.
At times it was hard to keep-up with the number of questions, and the multitude of revelations, which were being pinged by TDs and Senators at grim looking RTÉ Executives on their third Oireachtas committee outing.
Confusion continued to reign at times, particularly over the now infamous barter account which was used to funnel non-disclosed payments from RTÉ to the presenter Ryan Tubridy's agent.
Last week, the RTÉ Chief Financial Officer Richard Collins was emphatic that there was only one barter account.
Then RTÉ sent an explanatory document to the Oireachtas Committee on Media, about how barter accounts operated, and the first sentence read: "There are three barter accounts."
Mr Collins tried to explain yesterday that there was only one account, but three separate companies linked to it.
The politicians were nonplussed with his claim that this was consistent with what he’d said the previous week, but it did stave off an all-out onslaught.
After nearly six hours of a grilling, everyone in Committee Room 1 was wilting: the politicians, the RTÉ visitors and the media corp.
It mercifully came to an end after 7pm.
Yet it was the very first intervention of the day that elicited a chilling sentence which underlines the free fall which RTÉ is now enduring.
It was delivered in a soft Donegal brogue but it packed a powerful punch.
Chair of the RTÉ Board Siún Ní Raghallaigh said: "I believe there is a high probability that more information will emerge in the days and weeks ahead."
Weeks more of this!
The red hot likelihood of more embarrassing disclosures isn't the worst of it.
Ms Ní Raghallaigh excoriated the RTÉ executives, and it's clear a gulf now separates them.
She said the failure to deliver reliable information was "profoundly unsatisfactory"; she refused to voice confidence in the executive board; and added she was seeking legal advice.
That's the poisoned atmosphere which incoming Director General Kevin Bakhurst will walk into next Monday.
What will he do?
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar opined that he may reconstitute the executive board or get rid of it all together.
But the extent of Mr Bakhurst’s powers are unclear - he can change the structures, but can he change the personnel?
Another challenge comes in the form of two, three-person external committees announced by Minister Martin.
They've been charged with investigating governance, culture, agents, contracts and then making recommendations.
Will all that hem in Mr Bakhurst?
Or what about the forensic accountant, who is due to land into Montrose next week, and will be investigating the barter account and other matters?
And that’s only part of political challenge for the new DG.
Both the Oireachtas Committee on Media and the Public Accounts Committee have made it clear that they too will be continuing their investigations into multiple aspects of how RTÉ has operated in the past - sometimes going back more than a decade.
Mr Bakhurst also has the not insignificant task of boosting morale among a workforce which has looked on in absolute horror and rising anger at the myriad of revelations.
It was notable that Interim Deputy Director General Adrian Lynch told People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett yesterday that the executive has yet to engage with the NUJ or SIPTU representatives since the debacle began.
There were emails to staff from Mr Lynch, but no staff meetings.
He said the executives were focused on preparing for the Oireachtas hearings but added that contact would be made with the workforce representatives "immediately".
That promises to be a testy engagement, given the NUJ Broadcasting Branch yesterday juxtaposed the revelations of substantial payments by RTÉ for access to a private London club, with journalists being forced to use café toilets in the same city because the station had given up its office.
Mr Bakhurst knows RTÉ well as a previous Managing Director of News and Current Affairs, Deputy Director General and Acting Director General. He has considerable experience at the BBC and knows the wider broadcasting landscape through his most recent job with Ofcom - the UK communications regulator.
The staff at RTÉ now await to hear what his vision is to get the station out of a considerable hole.
Staff anger at the decisions by some RTÉ executives, and the inaction of others, is still palpable. They feel there is a real risk of long-lasting damage to public service broadcasting.
As I left Leinster House last night, I unexpectedly encountered a colleague who looked at me, burst into tears and said: "What have they done?"
