A bombshell report into the circumstances surrounding the secret payments to Ryan Tubridy has firmly placed former RTE Director General Dee Forbes in the firing line.
RTE issued a lengthy 3,000-word statement from interim RTE Director General Adrian Lynch based on the findings of an independent Grant Thornton report on Tuesday evening, which can be read in full here.
According to the RTE statement, the report found no illegalities and no "wrongdoing on the part of Ryan Tubridy" in relation to any undisclosed payments made by RTÉ.
