The revelations came to light on Wednesday.
RTE star Marty Morrissey has confirmed he is the RTE staff member who handed back a car after owning it for five years.
"In light of recent events, one potential issue did come into focus. In 2017 I was asked to MC a series of functions in Renault garages across the country. This involved me interviewing several high-profile GAA personalities. As was required of me, I sought RTÉ permission at the time to do this. This permission was granted.
"Like many RTÉ staff and contractors, I was this week asked to supply RTÉ with information about any commercial engagements, gifts and potential conflicts of interest. I did this and made full disclosure of this matter to RTÉ. "I have assured RTÉ that I remain ready to assist, and rectify, any issues which may arise from this matter."
Under questioning from Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley, Mr Lynch was asked if there were any brand ambassadors with a loaned car who was also in receipt of a car allowance from RTÉ. Mr Lynch said they were “going through a process now” of checking that information.
