AFTER FOUR HOURS of questioning by the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee this morning, Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly will now appear before the Oireachtas Media Committee.The first session was marked by several emotive answers by Ryan Tubridy, who said that the RTÉ secret payment scandal had made it “hard to leave the house”.
Throughout the session, Tubridy and Kelly placed the blame for the furore squarely on RTÉ, with Kelly responding in the affirmative when asked if RTÉ were “solely responsible” for the events surround the underreporting of payments made to Tubridy, and an agreement to underwrite contractual payments originally agreed to by Renault.
Tubridy has not presented his weekday morning radio programme since the issues at RTÉ came to light on 22 June, with RTÉ’s new director general yesterday suggesting that his future at the network may hinge on this week’s events.
