Ryan Tubridy has said he had 'nothing to do with' the Toy Show The Musical project
Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly are today appearing before two Oireachtas committees today over RTÉ’s failure to disclose €345,000 worth of payments to the presenter.
Tubridy said that there may have been people working in parrell but that seconded is “probably too strong a word”. In response to this on 20 February, O’Keeffe said: “Agreed – should the project progress further we will discuss as a separate arrangement to this contract.” Documents seen by The Journal revealed that the inaugural Toy Show musical last year made just €495,961 in revenue against costs of €2,699,193. In total, the project made a loss of €2,203,231.
Including RTÉ guests, free tickets, and competition winners, Toy Show The Musical managed to fill just 41% of the available capacity of the Convention Centre. Last December, the Dáil’s spending watchdog asked RTÉ to clarify how much money had been spent on the musical.
