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.
