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, according to a bombshell statement from interim RTE Director General Adrian Lynch.
Mr Lynch said no member of the RTÉ Executive Board other than Ms Forbes could've known that Tubridy's figures were wrong.
An independent Grant Thornton trawled through hundreds of thousands of euro paid to Ryan Tubridy in deals not publicly declared.
