RTE paid Ryan Tubridy over €300,000 more than it declared to the public over a six-year period.
In a statement issued today, the national broadcaster said that the former Late Late Show host received €345,000 more in payments than what was declared publicly between 2017 and 2022. An independent review by Grant Thornton - commissioned by RTE's Audit and Risk committee - found that Tudridy was guaranteed an additional income of €75,000, which was supposed to come from a commercial partner of RTE, but this was only paid by the partner for one year.
The issues with Tubridy's payments were first detected in March of this year. Tubridy announced that he was stepping down from his role as Late Late Show host on March 16.
