Ryan Tubridy has blamed RTE for failing to declare €345,000 paid to the top presenter – saying the error has nothing to do with him.
In a statement issued this afternoon, the RTE board said that between 2017 and 2022, Tubridy received a series of payments totalling €345,000 above his annual published salary, which were not declared to the public and the Oireachtas.
The payments were uncovered after the company's auditors alerted the board to some of the transactions.
