RTÉ chairwoman concedes that ‘shocking’ governance failings occurred at Montrose
“It’s a culture that’s in there that accepts ‘well that’s approved by the [director general] so I’m not going to talk about it’ – and I think all of the people that are here now would agree that’s wrong.”
Asked if he would return to the airwaves in the long term, Mr Lynch replied: “Again, I would just say for editorial reasons, he is not on air at the moment.” “There is precedent for contracts of this nature that they are amended to reflect the fact the TV element of the contract is coming to an end — and that a value is assigned to TV and to radio and that a new figure is agreed,” said the source.
Ryan Tubridy's current contract ended on May 31st, with negotiations around a radio-only contract currently suspended, say RTÉ. Central to the affair is RTÉ's assertion that Tubridy’s earnings from 2017 to 2019 were “understated” by €120,000 in annual declarations on top presenter pay. However, RTÉ chief financial officer Richard Collins told the committee “there was no €120,000 payment” of what was supposed to be an exit fee at the end of his last contract.
