Ryan Tubridy has been named as RTE’s top earner for years but is now embroiled in a new scandal after it emerged that hidden payments of €345,000 were paid to him over a period of five years.
RTE has apologised for a "serious breach of trust with the public" and the outgoing RTE director general Dee Forbes resigned on June 26 amid the ongoing scandal.
Tubridy did not present his radio show on Friday morning after RTE failed to declare €345,000 of payments to him - on top of his €420,000 annual published salary.
