RTE has confirmed Ryan Tubridy will still be paid while off air – but will only release how much they are paying him “in due course”.
The state broadcaster is at the centre of a payments scandal after it was discovered Tubridy was paid €345,000 extra in monies that wasn’t publicly declared over a five year period.
Several major investigations are underway at RTE, while the Government is set to green light auditors to go through RTE’s finances. The move could mean it could take months for investigations to be complete, but RTE has confirmed Tubridy will still be paid while off air – but declined to say how much.
