A bombshell RTE report concerning the undeclared payments to Ryan Tubridy has placed ex-Director General Dee Forbes in the firing line.
This evening, RTE released a lengthy nine-page statement as the broadcaster tried explain what lead to its underreporting of payments worth €345,000 to Late Late Show presenter Tubridy. According to the RTE statement, former Director General Dee Forbes had "all the necessary information" over the RTE payments scandal and that "no illegality” was involved in the undeclared payments to presenter Ryan Tubridy.
The statement also claimed that ex-RTE Director General Dee Forbes was the only person who could have known that Ryan Tubridy's published salary was wrong over the last five years in RTE.
