Chair of RTÉ Board apologises on Tubridy payments as Minister orders full review into governance and culture

RTÉ Catherine Martin Ryan Tubridy the RTÉ Board RTE Siún Ní Raghallaigh Grant Thornton

The Chair of the RTÉ Board has apologised for the "breach of trust" on Ryan Tubridy's undeclared earnings of €345,000, with Minister Catherine Martin ordering a full review of RTÉ governance.

Earlier this week, it emerged that extra hidden payments were given to the former Late Late host between 2017 and 2022, which saw Ryan Tubridy apologise 'unreservedly' saying that he should have spoken up when the incorrect earnings were published.

This Saturday, the Chair of the RTÉ Board Siún Ní Raghallaigh met with the Minister for Tourism, Culture Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin TD, to discuss the transparency issue surrounding the payments.
