Former Late Late Show host Tubridy has welcomed the findings of the report.
A report has suggested it is “very plausible” that fees paid by RTE to its star presenter Ryan Tubridy were underdeclared by 120,000 euro from 2017-2019 to keep the payments under the 500,000 euro mark.
Calculations carried out by a specialist forensic accountant who authored the report concluded that the 20,000 understatement in 2017 followed by the 50,000 euro under-declaration in 2018 and 2019, matched closely to the minimum amounts needed to bring the fees under 500,000 euro.
The publication of the report is the latest development in the controversy surrounding RTE’s financial and accounting practices as well as governance at Ireland’s public service broadcaster. Media minister Catherine Martin called the findings in the report “deeply concerning” and said it highlighted “further lapses in governance and failure of proper internal controls and processes” within the state broadcaster.
Three 75,000 euro annual payments were received by Tubridy for proposed public appearances for Renault, as part of a tripartite agreement involving the sponsor, RTE and the presenter. Reacting to the report, Ms Ni Raghallaigh said: “Regrettably, this report confirms our view of the siloed management culture that has prevailed in RTE and supports the decision by the board to initiate an ongoing programme of corrective action.”
