The Co Down comedian has issued a statement about his RTE Late Late show salary, along with how many seasons he is currently contracted to host
Patrick Kielty, the incoming host for RTÉ's Late Late show, has revealed that his salary will be €250,000 per season.This comes after the shock of the RTÉ payment scandal. Last week, it was revealed that former Late Late host Ryan Tubridy was paid €345,000 more between 2017-2022 than the official figure RTÉ provided to the public and Oireachtas.
“I’m being paid €250,000 per 30 show season. If additional shows are requested by RTE, they’ll be paid on a pro-rata basis.” The new presenter also revealed he is receiving a one-off payment of €20,000, to cover pre-production and rehearsals, which are taking place from now until September. “The contract allows me to submit flight and accommodation expenses, but I’ve waived this. I’ve made it clear to RTE that I will be covering my own flights and accommodation costs,” the statement said.
“I’ve also asked RTE to carbon offset my flights. I genuinely hope this helps clarify things going forward. I can’t wait to get started.”Join our new WhatsApp community!
