Broadcaster and agent Noel Kelly tell Public Accounts Committee they did not come up with €75,000 annual Renault agreement
to explain a tripartite deal that was made with the Late Late Show sponsors, that resulted in Tubridy being paid €75,000 per annum in fees for making commercial appearances.RTÉ guaranteed the payments and when Renault withdrew from the agreement after a year, the broadcaster paid the Tubridy €150,000 over two years through a barter account.
However, he said the €75,000 income from the tripartite deal with Renault was treated separately from that and was not factord into the 20 per cent cut.The business of the barter account: Inside the deals at the centre of the RTÉ crisisHowever, several members of the committee, including Imelda Munster and Colm Burke , have pointed out that it formed part of the contract negotiations around the broadcaster’s salary.
He maintains that none of the payments made to him were secret, including the deal between RTÉ and Renault. The only concession Tubridy made in his statement or contributions to the committee was that he should have questioned RTÉ's public statement on the scale of his salary in 2021.
