“Amazingly there seems to be no vacancies in the finance and payroll departments” – TV Critic Vivian Summers
Last year RTÉ was at the centre of a financial scandal following events from late June 2023 onwards when Ireland’s main public service broadcaster first disclosed previously unknown arrangements concerning a leading presenter’s pay, and in subsequent discussions, revelations about corporate entertainment for advertising clients, management numbers and high pay, and executive exit packages. RTÉ announced that between 2017 and 2022 it had paid €345,000 more than had been previously disclosed to the TV and radio presenter Ryan Tubridy, whose pay was already known to be more than that of anyone else at RTÉ.
