Presenter and agent to appear at two back-to-back Oireachtas committee hearings on Tuesday
2. Details of Tubridy’s contractual relationships with RTÉ, including related payments and exit fees
The issue that prompted the review of Tubridy’s earnings were payments of €150,000 made to the presenter by RTÉ, linked to a deal with a commercial partner, Renault. But politicians will also want know about any exit fees which may have been due as part of Tubridy’s contract. The RTÉ programme Prime Time reported last month that the only additional payment due in Tubridy’s 2015-2020 contract with RTÉ was an end-of-contract payment of €120,000.
3. The process relating to the “tripartite agreement” including its negotiation and sign-off and why it was underwritten by RTÉ The tripartite agreement is the agreement between RTÉ, Tubridy and Renault. Mr Kelly will be asked about the finer details of this arrangement: why was it suggested, who came up with the idea and why was it considered necessary. Tubridy will be asked what instructions he gave his agent around this agreement, while Mr Kelly will be asked about RTÉ's decision to underwrite the agreement and why this was considered necessary.
