Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that no request has been made by RTÉ for a “bailout” as he called for a stop to “new revelations every week”.
He made the comments as Ryan Tubridy and agent Noel Kelly were being grilled by the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee (PAC) about the under-declaration of €345,000 of salary.
During the first few hours of the meeting, both Mr Kelly and Mr Tubridy lamented the fact that the former Late Late Show host’s reputation has been “damaged” over the last number of weeks.
