NEW DOCUMENTS RELEASED by RTÉ show that former Director General Dee Forbes told presenter Ryan Tubridy in 2020 that his pay would not be reduced.
Documents released by the broadcaster ahead of its attendance at the committee show Forbes told Tubridy that his pay would not be reduced by RTÉ up to 2025, though the broadcaster had made assurances to the public that it was reducing the salaries of its highest earners.
It has also been found that RTÉ spent €138,000 on IRFU season tickets and €111,000 on travel and accommodation for the Rugby World Cup via a barter account. Another document provided to the committee details the salaries paid to RTÉ’s highest 100 earners, though the names of the earners have been anonymised for privacy reasons.
