The Liveline host said he signed a four-year contract in 2019, and this year agreed to a two-year extension with the 'exact same conditions, no changes and no increase'
The Liveline host revealed he gets paid €351,000 with the Ballyfermot native breaking down the costs.
Liveline has been without a sponsor for about a year – with Joe jokingly admitting that no one wants to sponsor his show given that it broadcasts criticism about everyone. He said he only agreed to a four-year contract as he “didn’t know what health I would be in in 2023”, but that RTÉ asked if a clause could be inserted which would give the option of invoking an extra two years.It comes just hours after Claire Byrne disclosed her salary, saying she never got any “side deal” in her contract.
