Capping salaries within RTE would restore a sense of community culture within the broadcaster, a senator has claimed.
Independent Ronan Mullen is pursuing a private member's bill in Ireland's Seanad that would seek to ensure the highest salary in RTE does not exceed that paid to the country's media minister, €195,000 a year.
Mr Mullen said his legislative bid was timely given the furore that continues to engulf the public service broadcaster following revelations last month that it underreported the salary paid to star presenter Ryan Tubridy by €345,000 between 2017 to 2022.
