Miriam O’Callaghan, Bryan Dobson and Mary Wilson are the latest high-profile RTÉ presenters to issue a statement today on their pay amid the furore over undeclared extra fees for Ryan Tubridy over several years.
Earlier this year, a group of production assistants were erroneously paid below the hourly minimum wage.
RTÉ staff have spoken of how devastated, ashamed, betrayed, and angered they were by the Ryan Turbridy pay scandal, with RTÉ journalist and NUJ branch chairwoman Emma O'Kelly saying: “We want those responsible to be held to account.”
Joe Duffy's Liveline served up an all-timer, this afternoon, as listeners called in, en masse, to have their say on the Ryan Tubridy payments issue.
The RTÉ star said he would not be presenting his radio show next week.
