RTE star Joe Duffy has revealed his salary to listeners as the RTE payments scandal rumbles on.
The Liveline host revealed he gets paid €351,000 with the Ballyfermot native breaking down the costs. The broadcaster said he gets paid €300,000 for radio, and a further €51,000 for other TV projects he is doing. He is currently hosting the Meaning of Life and previous episodes of Liveline Callback and Children of the Troubles.
He said on his RTE Radio 1 show: “I’ve never been offered, never rejected, never received, never been involved in any outside… the figures that are on my contract are the exact figures I receive.” Liveline has been without a sponsor for about a year – with Joe jokingly admitting that no one wants to sponsor his show given that it broadcasts criticism about everyone.
