It is "possible" that Ryan Tubridy's resignation from the Late Late Show was connected to the payments scandal, Interim Director General Adrian Lynch has said.
The comment came as bosses appeared before the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee. RTE acting DG Adrian Lynch conceded it’s possible Ryan Tubridy knew of questions being raised about his €75,000 commercial income when he announced his departure from the Late Late.
Mr Lynch said: "Just to give context, because I knew it would come up what I had done was, I tried to work out the day that the director of content told me that Ryan Tubridy went into his office to tell him he was stepping down. So, I went back and checked my email because I had sent him an email with a list of potiential presenters and that was on, I think, March 13.
