'Serious breach of trust' RTÉ paid Ryan Tubridy €345,000 more than it declared to the public between 2017 and 2022.
In a statement this afternoon, the national broadcaster confirmed that it paid the former Late Late Show presenter €345,000 euro more than it declared between 2017 and 2022.
The Chair of the RTÉ Board Siún Ní Raghallaigh said the boar is “well aware that this is a serious breach of trust with the public”.“It is clear that RTÉ has fallen short of the high standards that it sets for itself and are expected of it,” she said. “Once these issues came to light, we acted expeditiously to establish the facts and we are confident that the safeguards we have now put in place will ensure that nothing like this will happen again, and that good corporate governance is adhered to at all times.”
The issue was only identified in late March – with the RTÉ Board’s Audit and Risk Committee then calling in Grant Thornton to carry out an independent fact-finding review on the matter.
