Ryan Tubridy previously spoke about how he was willing to take wage cuts at RTE as he believed in the organisation a few years ago.
On Thursday RTE apologised for a “serious breach of trust with the public“ after it emerged that hidden payments of almost €350,000 were paid to top presenter Ryan Tubridy over a period of five years.
In a statement, the RTE board said that between 2017 and 2022, Mr Tubridy received a series of payments totalling €345,000 above his annual published salary, which were not declared to the public and the Oireachtas.
