Ex-RTE star Pat Kenny has defended under-fire figures Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly.
The pair, who are due before Oireachtas committees this week, have been at the centre of a payment scandal at the national broadcaster since details emerged on June 22 of €345,000 payments to Tubridy.
Pat, 75, who is also represented by Noel Kelly, 60, praised him for “exemplary service” as an agent and said “hard work, diligence, honesty” are hallmarks of Ryan Tubridy, 50.
