Kenny remains RTÉ’s top earner

PAT KENNY remains the highest-paid RTÉ presenter, according to the latest figures released by the state broadcaster.

However, the figures relate to 2009, in keeping with RTÉ’s original policy to only publish figures two years behind “for commercial reasons”.

In 2009 it agreed to publish the 2007 and 2008 figures, due to pressures arising from the economic downturn. The 2010 figures are due to be published next year. Given that the figures are two years old, they are likely to be out of date.
