Latest Grant Thornton report into broadcaster’s pay heavily critical of ‘several failures’ by State broadcaster
Noel Kelly tells committee that services paid for by RTÉ would have been provided"had it not been for covid" and there there are"six roadshows owed"
He has also signalled he will return the €150,000 he received as part of an abortive deal with Late Late Show sponsor Renault to make personal appearances. RTÉ ended up paying the money via a UK “barter account” when the motor company halted the arrangement. There was no apology to Mr Tubridy on Wednesday when RTÉ's board issued a statement on the Grant Thornton paper.
However, reservations have been expressed at very high levels in RTÉ about his prospective return. Some individuals are concerned that efforts to overcome deep crisis would be hampered if the person most closely associated with the debacle is back on the air.
