Ryan Tubridy has apologised unreservedly to his RTE colleagues after news of his overpayments broke.
The broadcaster faced scrutiny after an audit revealed he was paid an additional €345,000 between 2017 and 2022. RTE's Director General Dee Forbes has been suspended following the revelation.
Ryan did not host his usual radio slot on RTE One this morning. The presenter has now issued a second statement, where he admitted to "errors in judgement."
