Ryan Tubridy’s agent Noel Kelly says the scandal around the star’s undisclosed payments has attracted “horrendous abuse” to him and Mr Tubridy's family.
The talent agent and the former Late Late Show are being grilled by Oireachtas committees over the payments scandal.
A defiant Mr Kelly said Mr Tubridy was being made a “poster boy” for the scandal – but declared “this is the RTE scandal”.
