Ryan Tubridy has insisted that he was not aware of the payments “debacle” when he decided to retire from the Late Late Show as he denied being “overpaid by RTÉ”.
He will say today that he is “hopeful that I will soon get back on air to do the job I love”.
During two crunch Oireachtas Committee hearings on Tuesday, his agent Noel Kelly will say that the under-declaration of Mr Tubridy’s earnings has been “entirely a mess of RTE’s own making”.
