RTÉ pay crisis: Oireachtas Arts and Media committee and Dáil’s PAC each want to hear from Dee Forbes directly at hearings this week, when they question senior RTÉ executives about the Ryan Tubridy payments debacle
Aine Lawlor, Bryan Dobson, Mary Wilson, George Lee and Brendan O’Connor have all issued statements saying their publicly stated earnings from RTÉ are correct joining Claire Byrne, Joe Duffy and Miriam O’Callaghan in doing so.
This is from Drogheda Life in May 2022. “Last Tuesday night was party time as Blackstone Motors hosted an incredibly entertaining evening with Ryan Tubridy and friends for a Late Late Show all of their own. Special guests included local hero and Louth GAA captain Sam Mulroy who shed some light on Louth’s stellar campaign.
There was widespread gloom in the station, people were upset including the team that worked with Ryan Tubridy who considered him a good colleague. “This is not a Ryan witch hunt, this is more of a wider problem, a culture that has been allowed to develop and permeate certain tiers of the organisation. But there is a general malaise and silence.
Claire Byrne, Miriam O’Callaghan, Joe Duffy, Bryan Dobson, Áine Lawlor, Mary Wilson, George Lee and Brendan O’Connor have all said their earnings - as they were reported in the Top Ten Earners list published in February - are correct. Joe Duffy addressed his own terms and conditions towards the end of Liveline in response to queries from a caller.
