RTE is bracing itself for resignations of top executives for the first time in the ongoing Tubridy secret payments scandal after the station has admitted discovering more shocking spending irregularities in its accounts.
The broadcaster is facing a fresh crisis after it emerged that there are more so-called ‘barter accounts,’ similar to the one that it has already been confirmed siphoned €1.25million in funds to pay for sporting junkets and hospitality for senior RTE staff, spouses and clients.
An RTE source has told the Irish Mirror that this latest development is “very serious” and could lead to “heads rolling” in the organisation.
