RTE has denied recent claims made by Ryan Tubridy and Noel Kelly over the ongoing secret payments scandal.
The men released statements this morning ahead of their appearances before the Oireachtas Committee. Noel has described the debacle over Tubridy's secret earnings as a mess "entirely of RTE's own making."
Meanwhile, Tubridy has refuted recent figures released by RTE regarding his earnings. The presenter has described figures showing his 2020 and 2021 salary as "untruths".
