O'Connor addressed the controversy on his RTÉ radio show
His comments come after the RTÉ Board last month revealed that Tubridy's annual earnings between 2017 and 2022 had been understated by the broadcaster.
The RTÉ Board said that the former Late Late host was paid over €300,000 more during this time than initially declared."Look, obviously a lot of people wanted to talk to me about this in the last week. We hear a lot that people are very angry."I think people feel foolish. I think a lot of people... ordinary people out there, license fee payers and so on feel that they were made fools of by some people.
The broadcaster is one of many big names in RTÉ who has publicly revealed their earnings following the Tubridy scandal.Claire Byrne, Miriam O'Callaghan, and Joe Duffy have also declared their salaries publicly in the past week.
